Title: Executables not working on other computers (VS2008)
Post by: panithadrum on August 05, 2010, 11:10:56 pm

Hello, this is not SFML related at all, but everytime I compile a program, it won't work on other computers (if they don't have vs2008 I think).

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem

Do I have to configure something in the project properties? Thanks.

They must install the VC++ redistributable package (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en).

The MSVC++ redistributable package isn't required to make your application work on other computers. Copying some CRT dll files into the same directory as the exe should be enough (as well as linking statically to the CRT, which isn't easy using SFML).

There have been many threads concerning this topic, just use the search function.

Thanks for the answers, guys.

I didn't figure out what to search at all. I found the most relevant topic (fool me, I was there before!).
