Hi Rolf,

If you have loaded the latest SP of 2005 you'll find that the compiled run
time modules are a little different. I've found that I have to recompile
all of the supporting DLLs and LIBs. I have two machines now (one to do
normal development and another to compile under the non-SP1 version so I can
still send EXEs to my current customers without sending the whole product.
That works pretty well for me.

I think the message is pretty dumb to be honest. It doesn't really tell a
programmer what's going on and it certainly doesn't mean anything to an end
user.

I ported an old MFC application from VS2003 to VS2005.
The application works fin on my developer machine.

I tried to install this application on an XT coustomer machine.
I make a private directory without any installation routines.
In this directoy I copy my EXE.

When I start the EXE I get an error message like:
The application can not be started because the application configuration
is
not correct. Please make a new installation.

What does my EXE need?

I tried to run vcredist_x86
I tried to copy all dll's in my directory

The message is allways the same!

What should I do?
