I get a "this application configuration is incorrect" whenver I try to run a release (or debug) build of a pure win32 C++ (no .net) app on a computer that does not have visual studio installed. I even get this error when I install the VC09 C++ redistributables on said computer. I've google searched all about it, it seems to be a common problem, but have yet to figure out how to fix it. I tried setting the runtime to be "multithreaded" instead of "multithreaded dll", but that produces redfinition errors. When I tell VS to ignore libcmt.lib, it gives a single "__HUGE is not defined" error. Any ideas?

Lets try to get it working with "Multithreaded DLL". Which version of Visual Studio are you using? How did you install the redistributables on the target machine?

I had this issue as well check for the manifest file and that it is embedded or you include it.

Thanks Ezbez, that forum post worked. I copied the files from the "Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT" folder over to the application folder and everything works great!
