"The system cannot execute the specified program"

[Chris]

Hi,

I installed Visual Studio 2005 SP1, my application does not start on
machines without Visual Studio installed any more. It was working without
SP1.

After searching the web, it seems caused by manifest file, I changed link
option to generate external manifest file. The manifest lists dependency to
two version of CRTs, is that the problem and why it lists both?

Thanks,

Chris

What is your projetc type?
C/C++ or pure dotnet(C#,VB.NET)?
If pure dotnet app(C#,VB.NET), only the dotnet framework is necessary. I
think you are not in this case.

If C/C++ app, take care the VS2005 sp1 update some C/C++ runtime
libaries, e.g. the "msvcrt80.dll".
If your app links with the dll version C/C++ runtime, you need to deploy
the new C/C++ DLLs also.

I have this same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
