The "Application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect" message indicates that the manifest isn't properly referencing the MS C runtimes in binaries built in VS 2005. I fixed this on my system adding a few commands to the makefile to import the manifest into the binaries and delete *.manifest before building the installer. IIRC, this was addressed in a recent SVN revision; I haven't had a chance to look at it since.
