Yes, I've seen a lot of problems with this and ran into many of the
same problems when I was working through this issue. :-)

I've already done this and the manifest that is generated is included
inside the frozen executable. :-)

The hello.exe.manifest is already included in hello.exe. (see above)

There is no need to create a subdirectory, by the way. You can have
the following files in your directory and all will be well:

hello.exe
Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
msvcm90.dll
msvcp90.dll
msvcr90.dll

I trust this resolves your problems completely?
