Elysian Shadows

Hi first I'd like to say you guys rock I love all of your videos and spent many a minute laughing uncontrollably at your nicelord bashing video.

Second off I am new to The Chaos Rift so hopefully noone minds a new person.

Third I am pretty new to C++ although I learned the basics of JAVA and learning C++ is almost the same so far as far as things like if statements, operators, loops, etc..

I do have a question as per my title.

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and I created a very simple guess the number game for it then followed instructions on how a youtube video on how to create an .exe file out of it, now this .exe works fine on my computer (the one im programming with) however I sent it to my girlfriend on her computer over msn just the .exe file itself nothing else and I get an error:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

When I try to run the .exe on her computer. I would appreciate some assistance on how to make a .exe file that works on her computer too so she can play my simple game. Or i would appreciate a redirect to a site or tutorial on how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

If you would like to conversation me directly im available at negation99@hotmail.com on MSN

P.S. Please forgive my atrocious grammar (despite english being my first language I was never good at proper grammar.)

Another problem with redistributing VC++ welcome to the club. There are a few things you can do
1. Change the build option to Mutilthread from multithreaded dll
2. or you could install the redistributable package on target computer
3. You could buy visual studio and create a setup file(Or you could get it for free if you are a student)

Thanks for the response!

as far as number 1 I did that,

and I am not sure exactly what you mean by number 2

and as far as number 3 I was hoping I wouldnt need to install visual studio express on her computer to run it

Number 2 is go to this website http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en and download the redist package. Then you have to run that on her computer. Number 3 is you get visual studio full and you can create a setup project that will include all dlls needed to run. I do not know why number 1 is not working it worked for me.
