Why my Visual Studio 2008 's released exe file can not run in other machine

I have a very simple code.

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
 std::cout <<"hello world"<<std::endl;

 std::cin.get();

 return 0;
}

I compiled and tested the code in vs2008, every thing goes well.

But when I copy the released exeutable file to another machine, when I double clicke on the exeutable file, a wrong message pops up, saying "Because the application was not rightly configured, it can not start up. Resetup the application may solve the problem"([6]Well, exactily my computer gives out message in chinese, I translated it into English.The origin wrong message in chinese is "由于应用程序配置不正确，应用程序未能启动。重新安装应用程序可能会纠正整个问题".

My project was a Win32 Console Application, and I choose to begin from an empty project, thus I don't think there should be something related to CLR or .net framework.

The machine I tested is a completly new Windows XP Professinal system. To ensure my test, I use VMware and installed a new WinXP system in the virtual machine, and tested the exeutable file in the virtual system, then I got the same wrong information message box.

Check your project references, you might be linking to an uninstalled or improperly registered library without realising.

The error is a side-by-side configuration error. More details can be found in the event log.

It is highly likely that this message refers to the Visual C++ runtime library. You can solve this by installing the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package on the target machine, or by placing the files from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT (including the manifest file!) in the same directory as the executable.

Thank you for your solution.

I follow your suggestions and in both way, I can have my program execute in the other machine.

Its always good to check event viewer for any side-by-side issue.
