>I noticed that problem before in one of my application. The problem is the Install Express that did not select all the resources that you need to create the Setup of your standalone app.

It was "msvcr70.dll", as I recall. The problem's been resolved for several months now. Okay, the file being required is documented, but I wasn't building a new Install version of the program and had no reason to read (or even look for) that. I had an existing, working application, and did nothing more serious than correct a typo and recompile under 7.0, when this bit me. At the time it was infuriating, actually, it still is. There's no excuse, IMO, for burying this vitally important *change* somewhere on the CD rather than including it in big black bold letters in Help.
