The missing item is the C runtime library. Your project settings under C++
"Code Generation" select which version of the runtime library to use. If
you set the release build runtime library setting to /MT it will statically
link this library, rather than having a dependency on the DLL version.

Hello,

I developed a windows service using a visual studio 2008, statically
linked to ATL and unicode.

Q1) What is the correct way of deploying a windows service, that is, how
do I install it?

W2) I tried using Inno Setup and configured my setup project to run
MyWinSvc.exe /Service, but I got the error 'CreateProcess failed; code
14001'. I checked the system log errors and had an entry:

System:
"This application has failed to start because the application
configuration is incorrect.
Reinstalling the application may fix the problem. Dependent Assembly
Microsoft.VC90.CRT could not be found."

I didn't understand because I opted for the "static link to atl' option,
so I thought I only needed to deploy my .exe file. If is not just the .exe
file, which files should I deploy too?
