side by side - Visual Studio 2012 Debug .exe Needs Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT -

when build debug configuration, .exe fails launch.

it reports

the application has failed start because side-by-side configuration incorrect. please see application event log or use command-line sxstrace.exe tool more detail.

i used sxstrace.exe tool. reports following error:

error: cannot resolve reference microsoft.vc90.debugcrt,processorarchitecture="amd64",publickeytoken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8".

i've read lot of posts related these side-by-side errors. tried installing visual studio 2008 redistributable packages hoping missing debug .dll installed in c:\windows\winsxs. however, saw

debug versions of applications , various visual c++ dlls not redistributable.

how can resolve issue?

your manifest file debug build incorrect. here mine looks vs2013. notice "require debug crt" option. load this, in rc file have:

#ifdef _debug 1 24 "profiler.exe.debug.manifest" #else 1 24 "profiler.exe.manifest" #endif 

here myprogram.exe.debug.manifest
