• Visual C++ COM DLL, regsvr32 and manifest - blech!

  I have a COM DLL that relies on MSVCR80.dll and when I try to register it with regsvr32.exe I get a "loadlibrary failed -2147220473" error.  If I create a regsvr32.exe.manifest file and place it with regsvr32.exe, then it works.  There has to be a better solution though.  I can't count on target PCs having regsvr32.exe.manifest installed (and I'd rather not install it if possible).
