in thread Please help, need to fix the Window vista dll manifest issue

Not if you treat it as a complete error message.

Ie. "Runtime error! program has tried to load C runtime library incorrectly"

However, the Runtime error: R6034 has the text:

An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incor +rectly.

Which is more than subtly different. And the point is, that if you search for the actual error text, you only get 1880 hits. And less is definitely more in this case, because the first two hits are MSDN hits which do a pretty good job of explaining the problem.

And the third not only explains in detail the background of what causes it and why, but also contains a one-line patch for ExtUtils\MM_Win32.pm that if applied, would make the problem "go away". Assuming that the require tool mt.exe is available.

(BTW. How's oz? Wheyed down or a weighty problem? :)
