i have just installed vista ultimate on my laptop.
i tried to run the application on it, which i wrote
on my XP desktop in native vc++.
i got: 'side-by-side configuration error'.

dlls can be installed side by side, so that different versions
of a dll can coexist on one system and applications can use
manifests (xml resource files) to specify which version they
need or support.

Install vcredist_x86 of the VC++ version you use.
VC++ 2005:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86

VC++ 2008:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86

Those packages are also available as downloads from Microsoft

Typically you should use the merge modules which are located on
your dev machine in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules

can you tell me more on .msm files?
what does .msm stand for?
what are they? how are they used and created
and so on?
