Chances are high that you miss the runtime libraries of Visual Studio (CRT amongst others), you can either get rid of those dependencies (link statically) or install the VC redist packages on the target computer.

Depending on the Visual C++ version you use, you have to install different packages :

Visual C++ 2005

Visual C++ 2005 SP1

Visual C++ 2008

Warning : those packages only contain release versions of the libraries, if you want to be able to distribute debug builds of your application you'll have to take care of the required DLL yourself.
