Others can't seem to run my applications.

[KyleM]

I make a simple program and decide to send it to someone I know. They get an error saying something like the side - by - side configuration is incorrect. A Programmer tells me it is that DLL's are missing. I watch the programs output in the debug window and include the DLL's from that with the applicationa nd get the others to install the 2008 redist. Still doesn't work. I also try'd setting "Embed manifest" to no (I read this helps somewhere on a disscussion board), this also did not help.

All this has lead to great frustration on my part as it is one of the first problems i could not fix pretty much by myself, when that happens i becomed demotivated and i get a feeling i will never be able to understand the concepts of programming well and should just give up, i continue regardless as it is something i wish to do more than anything. Any help or advice given will be greatly appreciated.

maybe you should just try a different compiler. :P

[KyleM]

I would really like not to. I am determined to get this fixed, with help or not and learn from this.

Did u compile in release mode and not debug mode?

[KyleM]

Man, i can not believe i did not know that would fix it. Thank you alot Diaa.

Is that with Visual C++ right? You need to statically link to the standard library

You are very welcome KyleM, I encountered the same problem a few days ago since I wanted my friends to try out my programs but it never worked... now they finally do ;-)

Going into release probably won't fix the problem on its own. As bazzy noted, you should probably static link the libs you are using:
