I can build my project in Visual Stuido 2008 and successfully run it in release mode, however when I use "Start Debugging" option I'm getting the following error:

Qt Code: 
  1. Unable to start program ' (path of my exe file under debug folder)'
  2.  
  3. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors.
  4.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. For more details, please see the application event log.

Since I'm new to qt, the manifest file didnt mean much to me anyways it's:
Qt Code: 
  1. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
  2. <assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
