Error: the application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect.

If you have met this error when you are running your distributed program in other machine,
One of the reasons is version mis-match. Someone may ask you to download the vcredist_x86.exe
from microsoft, but it maybe hard to find the right version.
Another method is to directly install the vcredist_x86.exe from your VC directory.
For VC 2005, probably the file is located at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86\vcredist_x86.exe
just copy this file to antoher machine and install it, it will then solve the version problem.
