    As your application seems to start correctly (you don't have an error message that is displayed immediately when you launch the app), I suppose that it is not a deployment issue. So, as Matthew stated, it has probably nothing to do with the fact that VC is installed or not. Anyway, it is always better to distribute the release version of your executable. Do you use any ActiveX ? That could be the problem: if you try to use an ActiveX that is not registered, you'll have this kind of problem. If that's not the case, you'll have to dig into more details (like Matthew suggested).

          Copy the activeX MSComm32.ocx in the windows\system32 folder (take it from there on your own computer) and use regsvr32 to register it. Click on Start -> run and there type "regsvr32 MSComm32.ocx".

                    Hi, The error message was "Cannot find the file 'regsvr'(or one of its components).Make sure the path and the file name are correct and that all required libraries are available" The systems which got this error doesn't have VC++ installed. I had placed MSCOMM32 at windows\system32\mscomm32.ocx or winnt\system32\mscomm32.ocx Thanks
