Program Won't Work On Other OS's

Serpent (42)
I made a program that moves your mouse but, when I gave it to other people they said that it doesn't work. I think it only works on Windows Vista Home Basic 32 Bit, which is what I have. I don't know about XP (people haven't tried it with that) but some people with Vista (not my kind) said it doesn't work either along with Windows 7 users. The people I gave it to said they got this error: 
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. 
Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
This is my code:

How do I get my programs to work on all, or at least more OS's?

Sounds like you haven't set your runtime libary to static. You either have to do that or you have to include the redistributabe package along with your application for it to run on other computers --

If you're using VS2008 or VS2010, you can avoid distributing the other files by going to --

Properties | C/C++ | Code Generation | and then setting your runtime libary to /MT for the Release version and /MTd for the debug version. Of course, you also can't distribute your debug version to other computers no matter what.
