VC 2005 has this ugly manifests.
Probably you forgot to say you have updated VC2005 to SP1.
First you have to recompile the complete wx
Then copy the redist files from
C:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC80.CRT
to your application dir if you use x86 or take the resp. files
Thats it.

I guess there is an error in the VS2005SP1 with the accepted manifests.
Best, AO
