Hi there,

when I compile an MFC program and its setup under windows 10 using Visual Studio 2010 pro and then tries to install it under Windows 7, the setup installs the program correctly but the executable does not work, and fires fatal errors like "api-ms-win-errorhandling-l1-1-1.dll is missing". However, if I compile the same program and setup under windows 7, it works like a charm whether I install it under Windows 7 or Windows 10.


Obviously, there are dependencies which are needed but not detected when the program is compiled under Windows 10?

Any suggestion appreciated...

(ok, except the obvious one which is to keep a machine running windows 7 and use it to compile the final version)
