My application requires ATL90.dll to run, and I'm not using MSI as installer.
So, I have to install vcredist_x86.exe on the target machine before I install
my application. My application is quite small, so I don't want the
installation to grow 1.8 mb more because of one Dll.

I've read the article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291(VS.80).aspx
As I understand there is a way to distribute atl90.dll as private assembly.
The article says that all I need is copy the Dll and its manifest from
%PROGDIR%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\Redist\x86 to the target machine.
I have placed the manifest and dll to the directory where my application is
installed, but the application doesn't work. Looks like something is missing.
So, is it possible to distribute ATL90.dll only?
