    A little problem

    Hi guys, I have a little problem! I want to run the program that I made, on the different PC. In my project directory I have an executable that works perfectly on my computer. But when I try to run the same program on different PC it says that - "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." Please, I need your help!

    I'm fairly certain this is an issue with the application manifest. I'm not sure how to fix it, though (and it might help if you posted what compiler you're using)

    Ok, I've been trying to figure this thing out, but still don't have any clue. Maybe because I have .NET framework 2.0 installed on my computer and not on the others plays role? However, I'm only using Win32 API which (I think) doesn't depend on .NET. Maybe I should try using other compiler? Any ideas??

    Your executable could be looking for some DLLs that it cannot find on other computers.

    Try to make sure your project statically links with the C Runtime Library.

    How would I do that? And also, how can I compile file as .c in VS 2005?

    under the project settings go to C++ and then to Code Generation and change it from /MD to /MT Multi-Threaded

    Yes!!!! Works perfectly. Thank you guys very much! So basically, compiler includes all the files my application uses into the executable? Thanks again.
