I was testing my first litle app in VCPP at school. School doesn't have any of the visual studios stuff on it, i build the app at home. When i open the app the following error presents itself
"[application path name] this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
how do i overcome this

That is probably because you don't have the SxS binaries installed on school machines.
Either link statically using the /MT compiler option or deploy using one of the options at http://blogs.msdn.com/aymans/archive/2006/04/04/568466.aspx
Of course, if it is a managed application (built with the /CLR compiler switch) then you will need the .Net Framework installed on the machines at school as well.
For additional information, take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zebw5zk9(en-US,VS.80).aspx
Hope this helps!

I have been unable to get my app working on a system where the WinSxS file do not exist. I used Beta 2 and deployed with the vc8 DLLs and manifest without issue and that same scheme with an updated manifest and DLLs does not work. The vcredist folder was not installed on my system and I have not found any way to do run my program with the accompanying DLLs.
What to do
