visual studio 2005 SP2 redistribution issue

P

Peter

Hello,

I have an application compiled with visual studio 2005 SP2 (32 bit),
it cannot run successfully in another computer without vs 2005 installed.

Here is the error message:
"This application has failed to start because the application
configuration is incorrect"

I tried google search and installed visual studio 2005 runtime binary
library from the microsoft website, it doesn't work.
I also copied Microsoft.VC80.CRT from redist/x86 directory and put
it under binary application, it still doesn't work.

this is my binary application manifest:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT'
version='8.0.50727.762' processorArchitecture='x86'
publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT'
version='8.0.50727.762' processorArchitecture='x86'
publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

do I need to copy Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT directory over in addition to
Microsoft.VC80.CRT directory?

Thanks.

Compile the release version, not the debug version, for

Not that I've been able to find. And I looked after two messages showed up
today claiming to be using it.

Two? Is there another one?

Brian Muth's and my responses about static linking and not
distributing a debug compile are completely general and valid for any
version of Visual Studio with or without service packs. I certainly
didn't pay any attention to that aspect of the query.

I compile everything from makefile and not sure if there is a special
flag in the compile or link to compile as release version?
thanks.

Better yet, you should statically link your application as well.

I used /MT to compile in the makefile and I really don't expect
the dll included. not sure how to make 100% static compilation?

thanks.

/MT is the way to go (IMHO), and should avoid dependency on the CRT DLL's. Are
you linking static libraries into your executable? If so, they are likely the
culprit.
