Console App won't run, getting error about "application configuration is incorrect"

Console App won't run, getting error about "application configuration is incorrect"

• Shruti00

  The error message is "The application has failed to start because the "application configuration is incorrect". Reinstalling the application may fix this problem"
  
  Could there be something wrong with the manifest

  Works for me.

  Is it possible in VC++ EE to create a simple Hello World console application
  (i.e. a .exe file) that does not require the installation of other stuff
  
  It seems to me that this is not possible in this free product.
  
  What about the commercial product When I install a Windows program, they
  tend to have a lot of auxiliary files and stuff and was wondering if this was
  inherent in the platform.

  Have you actually recompiled your app with the non-beta VC++ 2005 Express

  The number you are getting 50608 is the correct one.The policy on your machine will direct such dependency to the correct version.
  
  You need to install the SxS binaries into the other machine. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235624.aspx includes more details. Also, the following previous post might be helpful: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=123250&SiteID=1

  This worked! Thanks!

  Here is some more background.  I had originally developed the console app in Beta 2.  I recently uninstalled it and installed the final version.  I noticed that the manifest that is created still has an old version number (i.e. 8.0.50608.0) in it. How can I get it to output the new version number (i.e. 8.0.50727.42).  I currently have copied the new version of the dll.  I have tried editing the manifest but it does not help.  I really don't want to use the beta version anymore so what can I do
  
  See below for my manifest as created by VS C++ 2005
  
  < xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' >
  <assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
    <dependency>
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version='8.0.50608.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </dependency>
  </assembly>

  The link you listed seems to be dead.

  What error message do you get
  If a file is missing use DEPENDS.EXE to check all dependencies!

  You can look at it with DLLexp
  and then copy all the dll it lists.
