Hello all,
<br/> <span style="text-decoration:underline I want to run a simple x64 .exe program on an 64-bit Windows Server 2008 CLEAN install.
<br/>
I developed a simple program (CLR Console Application) to write "Hello World" on a text file in C:. I want to run it on a x64 computer without Visual Studio installed, so what I did was:
<br/>
1. Went to Project Properties -> Configuration Manager
2. Changed the Active Solutions Platform to x64 (both for Debug and Release)
3. Done this using Visual Studio 2008 on a 32-bit computer.
<br/>
When I run it on the 32-bit computer, it seems to have successfully created it for an x64 computer since it says it is not a valid "win32 application".
<br/>
However, I tried copying the .exe to the Win Server 2008 computer but I get an error saying:
<br/>
<span style="text-decoration:underline "This application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect"
<br/>
I think that this is because I need the .NET framework or the libraries of Visual C++.
<br/>
I have searched through the net and most of the solutions involve copying the dll files / library files, or installing the Visual Runtime C++ Redistributable Package.
<br/>
I want to ask if: <span style="text-decoration:underline Is there a possible way of running my applications to a without copying the dll / library files or installing the VC++ Runtime Redistributable Package?
