solution for Visual Studio 2005 error 0xc0150002 failed to probe manifest
Matthew Leverton

If you get the error 0xc0150002 (regarding the manifest file) when using the pre-built binaries for Visual Studio 8, you need to install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1. There are different service packs for Express and Professional. Google and you shall find.

Here are some version numbers:

  • 8.0.50727.42 - 2005 Express

  • 8.0.50727.762 - 2005 Express, SP1 (SP.050727-7600)

  • 8.0.50727.859 - 2005 Professional, SP1

  • 8.0.50727.867 - 2005 Professional, SP1 /w Vista Update

The first one needs the service pack installed. I'm not sure what the version number for 2005 Professional without SP1 is, but I doubt it works with the binaries.
