application configuration is incorrect

When I run my program on some computers, it works fine. On others, I get an error: "This application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem"

Some threads on the forum say that it is the irrlicht.dll file that cant be found. This is not the case, the dll file is in the right location. On the computers I get the error, the example programs work fine, too. I do not know what the error could be.

I am building the project in Microsoft Visual Studios 2005.[/img]

You have managed code enabled during installation and the other computers don't have .net runtime installed. Switch it off unless you're using managed code libraries. This has been solved in a thread some lines below this one.

Nope, it is due to a new mechanism that microsoft introduced in VC2005 (not totaly correct, it was in 2003 but was not obligatory). This is what they call manifest file.

This should help

Wow, there seems to be a very complicated solution. Well, Occam's Razor guides me to try the simpleset one first. However, I can not find how to turn off managed code. where might this be in the project's properties?
