POSSIBLE SOLUTION........

EDIT: (removed most of my post) Long story short, I was having similar problems, getting the "Application Configuration Incorrect" messages, etc etc. Depends.exe was only finding ieshims.dll and wer.dll as possible issues, but this is not the problem. I ended up using the Multithreaded (/mt) compile option. What HAS worked though, as a workable solution, is making an installer with InstallShield. I've selected several merge modules in installshield builder and this seems to have fixed my problem. The modules selected were: VC++ 9.0 CRT, VC++ 9.0 DEBUG CRT, and the CRT WinSXS MSM merge module. I'm pretty sure its the WinSXS merge module that has fixed it.

DEBUG CRT: I noticed somewhere that (no matter how hard I tried, and obviously failed thus far), my Release version still depended on the DEBUG CRT. If this is still the case, the InstallShield merge module has now placed the DEBUG CRT folder in my WinSXS folder :) Being somewhat of a novice with VC++ I assume that this would normally be used to distribute debug versions of your programs to other people. To test if this is what fixed my problem I removed the DEBUG CRT folder from the WinSXS folder and the application still worked. (Unless something is still running in the background etc etc - I'm not that into it)

Anyway, this has got things working for me on an XP SP3 fully updated machine, and also on a VMWare XP SP3 machine with the bare bones (.net 3.5 and VC++ 2008 RTM basically) - and also on a mate's XP machine where it previously wasn't working.

So give these things a try, you might have some luck.
