So I was setting up one of my other machines with the new version of HoboCopy, when I got this error:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.
After doing a little digging, I realized that the problem was the version of the VC++ runtime I installed. I had run vcredist_x86.exe, but I had run the version that came with the RTM version of Visual Studio. Of course, HoboCopy was compiled with the SP1 version of Visual Studio, because a bug in the C++ compiler means it won't compile at all on the RTM version. Once I installed the updated vcredist_x86.exe, HoboCopy works again.
Of course, I had posted the wrong version up on SourceForge. I've fixed that - the version of vcredist_x86.exe available here now matches the one HoboCopy is expecting.
Sorry if this bit anyone other than me.
Thanks! Solved the problem for me trying to run the 64-bit version on Windows 2008 Server. Had to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64) to make it work.
ReplyDeletehi, i get this error when i try and run a program that i have compiled for release. But only on machines that dont have Visual Studios, how can i make a true release version
ReplyDeleteYou need to either statically link or distribute the C Runtime. Google for more details.
