Question

Issue

I wrote a C++ project called \'Foo\' using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Verison 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) on Windows XP Professional Vers

Answer 1

Here is how you fix this issue:

You WILL STILL Get the sidebyside errors If the application being used is 32 bit and you try running it on a 64 bit OS which has the VC_REDISTx64 installed.

Simple solution, you MUST ALSO LOAD THE VC_REDISTx86 on the 64 bit os
