Im running into an issue where the executables built with Visual Studio 2005 & KB971090 fail to run on machines that dont have Visual Studio installed. Ive tried installing the Visual Studio redistributable (both 2005 and 2008) without resolving the issue. Ive ensured that the machine is fully patched. The target machines are running Windows XP (32 bit).
The failure Im seeing is:<br/> Side-by-Side configuration information contains errors.This application has failed <br/>Using dependency walker I found the dlls it was reporting as missing on the machine and checked the WindowsWinSxS directory and the paths were there for the versions I found in the redistx86 directory for the machine the application was built on. I copied the corresponding dlls to the applications directory and while it resolved event id 59 for the corresponding dlls it didnt resolve the SxS error.
Uninstalling KB 971090, full rebuild, copy (removing the dlls I copied as well) fixes the issue.
The full list of updates to VS2005 I used for building the application are:<br/>KB937061<br/>KB935225<br/>KB947315<br/>KB947738<br/>KB926601
Is there a redistributable that includes the necessary dlls? Is there a bug perhaps in how the manifest is getting generated after this KB is installed?
