Hi,

I build my program using a nightly build of boost-build with msvc90 on Cygwin. When I run my executable on a computer without Visual Studio installed, I get the following error:

Activation context generation failed for "U:\Filetemp\cap2net.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Now it seems that it is looking for some VisualStudio DLL or something. Is there any way I can get rid of this problem, for example by statically compiling against the VS DLLs? How can I configure boost-build to do so?

Also, DebugCRT sounds like a debug version, even though I build a release version. Or maybe I am wrong?

Thank you,
Andrej
