- there are two versions of ms vc runtime, one with sp1 and the other
without. Please make sure you are using the same version 1)to build
boost, 2) to build your project 3)most importantly, to be distributed to
the target machine. Please check the build number to check it. You may
want to check the manifest file to see the runtime version your project
is dependent on.
- the best way to create a setup project using visual studio. It'll
detect and wrap the correct runtime for you.

Hi,
I haven't been able to find much information on this, I hope someone can
help me:
I've only recently started using boost. I finally finished writing an
application on my development machine.
- Windows XP with Service pack 2
- Application developed in native C++ using MS VS2005 
- Boost version 1.35, multithreaded,  dynamically linked, installed
boost using the installer from boost computing
 
I then tried to deploy a release version of the application and the ms
vc runtime redistributables to a test machine running a clean XP install
and my application failed to run.
The test machine also has XP Service Pack 2 installed.
Strangely only the signal and the system DLL give the following error
message:
Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for
"c:\rtvc\bin\BOOST_SYSTEM-VC80-MT-1_35.DLL" contains errors. This
application has failed to start because the application configuration is
incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).
 
The thread, date time, etc dlls are fine. However the signal and system
dll are fine on my development machine. 
Has anyone encountered similar problems?
 
Thanks,
Ralf
