[sldev] failure to run on windows xp?? build 2547

[Cypren Christenson]

That message would be normal for anyone who doesn't have the Visual C+ 
+ 2005 CRT libraries installed on their computer; those libraries are  
shipped with (and required by) a large number of Windows updates and  
applications and can be downloaded directly from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&displaylang=en 
). The error that Robert was having with build 2548 is more specific  
problem and is caused by not having the VC++ *debug* libraries  
installed, which only come with Visual C++ 2005.

A dependence on the runtime libraries is fine, and is so common among  
Windows applications that the only systems missing them are likely to  
be ones that were just wiped and reloaded with a fresh copy of Windows  
XP (Vista installs them by default). A dependence on the debug  
libraries, however, is quite a bit of a problem... unless you're  
distributing your software only to Windows C++ developers. =)
