thanks man,

they were getting the error as if it could not find the dll, and
dependency walker was saying

"Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information in "c:\program
files\trillian\plugins\sip\SIP PLUGIN.DLL" contains errors. This
application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem
(14001)."

another user copied over the winsxs folder from a computer where it was
working and was able to resolve the error that way (I know, I know ;-)

Also another user resolved the error simply by recompiling without the
internal manifest. I think the manifest syntax was correct but for some
reason the dependencies could not be found even after verifying the
presence of the correctly named folders in the winsxs directory (the
user who copied the winsxs folders said the correct ones were there but
for some reason copying in the new set fixed it)

so much for an end to dll hell ;-)
