I installed vcredist (The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
Package (x86) installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries
required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer
that does not have Visual C++ 2005 installed.) but still the same error.
Probably because the redist does not install the debug versions of the
libraries...
I think I went through the list and checked and copied the missing dlls
(by name, not necessarily version). Still the same message. Isn't there
a way to tell the app to give a more verbose error message with some
more details of the missing files?
