I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but i recently had a problem
where i was using MSVC 2005 express to make a release exe that when I
gave to other people would complain saying the program was
misconfigured and needed to be reinstalled.

After doing a little research I found out that you can fix that by doing this...

1) Right click your project and go into properties
2) Go to Configuration Properties -> General
3) Change "Minimize CRT use in ATL" to Yes
4) Rebuild project

After that, I could send out my exe by itself and people were able to run it.
