OK, I had a nasty feeling this would happen. This is why I never even provided
windows exes before, and it is why windows apps have a fancy installer. You 
have to
have all the appropriate dlls present on your system before it will work. In 
this
case you need the C runtime (CRT) dll for VC++8. While these things are 
included with
VC++Express, and Microsoft lets you redistribute them, you have to package them 
up
carefully and install and register them properly, and I just can't spare the 
time to
do that for every release.

Possible solutions:
(a) Build it yourself from the sources.
(b) Install some other random app that includes the correct dlls. (Stupid 
though it
sounds, for a VC++6 build this works well because almost everybody has the 
correct
dlls for VC++6 on their system already.)
(c) Download and install VC++express from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads/ You don't have to build it
yourself, because the act of installing it installs the dlls.

There is now a download containing executables built on VC++6. You may find that
these work, as the dlls are far more likely to already exist on your system.

For information of newbies who have not installed VC++6 on their machine 
- kindly clarify whether exe (ver:2.0)  downloaded will work in Windows in the
absence of installed Visual Studio-6

I have since installed VS 2005, so I cannot carry out the test requested at the 
present time, as both versions are working fine.

Shouldn't downloading the MS VC++ redistributable
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=200b2fd
9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647)
solve the problem without requiring users to install vc++ express and the 
platform sdk?
