Ah microsoft, don't we all love them?
This is a little warning for users of VS2005. Seems they wanted to do something new? Getting your programs to run on computers that don't have VS2005 installed is a bit of an annoyance. In the PSDK bin folder, there is a file called depends.exe you can use to figure out what dll's a program needs to run. I don't know much about compilers, but it seems many people are having problems with this.

no, only people deploying applications compiled for .NET 2.0 who are deploying to systems which don't have .NET 2.0 have problems.

Same as compiling something for Win32 and then trying to run it on WfW.

then I have something messed up with my settings?

Code:

int main()
{
	return 0;
}

MSVCR80.DLL needs to be distributed with your app:
