I followed the instructions posted about "Qt4 with Visual Studio".
everything went well except that my project (QPsycle) uses the resources compiler (rcc.exe) and that fails:

---------------------------
rcc.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------
This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I tried adding a manifest file but that didn't work:

D:\>type d:\Qt\4.2.3-win-shared\bin\rcc.exe.manifest
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version='8.0.50727.762' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

if I just copy the dll from the actual location I get a failure also:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
---------------------------
Runtime Error!

Program: d:\Qt\4.2.3-win-shared\bin\rcc.exe

R6034

An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

anybody found a solution to this problem?
