I had an VC++ 6.0 application which i converted succesfully to compile in VC++ 8.0.Now when i try to run the binaries on Windows XP SP1 it gives an runtime error saying that "The application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way."
The application runs fine on Windows XP SP2.
What do i have to install if i want the application to run successfully on Windows XP SP1 other than OS upgrade

VS 2005 Application not running on Windows XP SP1

I am experincing a similar problem as you described in this message. The difference is that I can not run my program in XP SP2 either. My problem is described as follows: I received the notorious error message of "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" when I run a C++ program with integrated libraries of previous VC++ versions (v7, v6, or maybe even older). My base project and most other embedded libraries were built using VC 8 though. I came to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884538 for a solution, but found it's a none charge-free hotfix.
I am just wondering if you have got your problem solved. If you have, how did you do Thanks.
