Anytime you try to load the C Library without a manifest, you will always come across this error because it is considered incorrect to load it like that. The industry norm is to load DLL files with a manifest. If you have built your application on a good system with Microsoft Visual Studio, chances are that the compiler or the manifest is already included in your application. However, if it isn’t, you would have to add it yourself while building the application.

Luckily, the Runtime Error R6034 while installing Sage 50 Accounts only results due to an incorrect file name on the file that has the manifest or a corrupt file.
