Error message running exe
-
Hi I get this error message when trying to run my program on another computer running Windows XP. I also get a different error when running on another persons computer with Windows 7.
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Any ideas on what the issue is? Thanks.

Came accross this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291(v=VS.90).aspx[^] Edit.

collect more information, formulate an hypothesis, verify it, and when it seems correct, fix it. IMO the two most likely categories of issues causing behavior somewhat like what you get, would be: 1. the system failing to locate or load a required piece of code, say a missing DLL. But then in my experience one gets a dialog box with a different message. 2. anything that could go wrong at the application level PLUS the app itself lacking proper error catching and reporting. e.g. if one has try-catch constructs with an empty catch, then all clues get swallowed and all that is left is guessing at what the problem is. :)

I've seen this with missing DLLs or other components, such as configuration files (as Luc Pattyn stated), or there's a missing registry entry (or the registry entry doesn't contain the information expected).

To check for missing DLL as Albert mentioned, you can use this: http://www.dependencywalker.com/[^]

Hi, This issue is related to the supporting dll's, CRT, MFC and and any other thirdparty and make sure that u also include the manifest of these supporting dll's. Hope this helps. Nitheesh George http://www.simpletools.co.in

Your need to install the Microsoft run-time libraries on the new machine. The libary pack you need depends on your version of Visual Studio, for example, VS2005 needs the following to be installed. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&displaylang=en Alternatively, you can compile the executable to use static libraries. Open Project->Properties, and select "use MFC in a static library" under General->Use of MFC, then go to Linker->General, go to "Delay Loaded DLLS" and uncheck the "inherit from parent" checkbox.
