I did took a look at VC++ help but it is some jargon that makes me nervous
The problem is that there is some:
error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cmd.exe'
when I try to build and it disappears when I disable manifest embedding in
project settings. Won't my app work correctly without this manifest stuff?

Normally it will work correctly; The only difference is,
that it will be unable to use the colorful (but as I think:
unnecessary) XP skinned UI.

necessary

You may also need a manifest if the program is to run trouble-free
under Windows Vista. For example, without one Vista will 'virtualize'
parts of the file system, which can be inconvenient.

That could be the problem.
Try to call it, from the very beginning of WinMain (or main).
You need to:

#include <commctrl.h>

and link to comctl32.lib
