I don't know what the concrete problem with upx is but the error
message really means that windows cannot find one of the dlls
referenced in one of the the manifest files or the manifests of
referenced dlls, it can happen even if all dlls are installed where
they belong (or where you think they might belong) and only some minor
version number mismatch or some wrong paths or file names, it's one of
the symptoms of MS DLL-Hell V2.0 and is following the well known
Microsoft tradition of clear and precise and meaningful error
messages.

Dear colleagues:

i have used por many years the upx for compact the executable files.
Really, it have worked pretty well.

today, i have tried to compact an executable but i have obtained a nom
good result.

previously i have used the strip to reduce the "weight" from more or
less 30 Mb to 3 Mb. After that, the executable still works well.

them i have applied the upx, it look to work well, the weight is reduced
to 1 Mb, but when i tried to execute, a message appears telling "the
configuration is not good and maybe reinstalling the application can
work". In more than 20 years using it, it is the first time this occurs.


As recently the use of UPX for packing the FPC binaries was removed I'd 
suggest you to not rely on it anymore.
