Hello fellow forum members,

I have been working on a simple program that just takes in an input and outputs some data. I have been distributing the .exe online. It is a simple black box program with no GUI that only uses the iostream header file.

This program is compiled with Visual C++ 2008 and works fine on my computer as well as some people online who have Visual C++ online. (I'm using windows XP SP2).

However a couple of people online who also have Windows XP are complaining about error messages that would not allow them to run the program:

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Users\~~~~\Desktop\DC subbed episode list.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86 ",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",v ersion="8.0.50608.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis

I have been looking online for a solution, but have not found one.

Can anyone please tell me how to make my .exe file distributable on all Windows systems?

Thanks in Advance
