C runtime library loaded incorectly -QT

I have a QT app which uses a LIB that depends on the 2008 C++ MSVCR90.dll. When I deploy my app, on some computers the following error is presented: screenshot

how can I solve this issue? someone mentioned to me that if I include a manifest file, this should help. so I prepared the following manifest file:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
 <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"></requestedExecutionLevel>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT" version="9.0.21022.8" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

in the .pro file I've added the following:

CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe
win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
 QMAKE_POST_LINK = $$quote(C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/bin/x64/mt.exe -nologo -manifest \"ISHEmulauncher.exe.manifest\" -outputresource:$(DESTDIR_TARGET);1)
 }
 else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
 QMAKE_POST_LINK = $$quote(C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/bin/x64mt.exe -nologo -manifest \"ISHEmulauncher.exe.manifest\" -outputresource:$(DESTDIR_TARGET);1)
 }

but the manifest that is created is different from the one I prepared and does not include the VS90 dependency and therefor I'm still facing the same error.

any suggestions? thanks!

Solution

  • I solved the problem by unchecking the "shadow build" option in QT. after that, the manifest file I defined wasn't ignored and the library was loaded correctly.
