Mister Biff: Dec 26, 2006

Really stupid question about Visual Studio 2008:

I don't normally write Visual C stuff, but I found a tool that I absolutely must have, and it was only available as source code. After a lot of rigamarole, I've managed to get a compiled .exe, but the file won't run on any other system!

The error is always the same: The system cannot execute the specified program.

I've tried installing the Visual C Runtime Libraries (for both 2005 & 2008) on my test machine, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I know I'm probably being stupid, but I can't seem to figure out how to make this thing work.

P.S. -- I only have the following includes, which I don't think are anything out of the ordinary:

code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <lm.h>
#include <lmdfs.h>

I've also got NetAPI32.lib linked as a resource file, so that might be it, but I'm still baffled. Any thoughts? :confused:

Edit: Er, this may be more appropriate for the C/C++ thread... if so, just tell me.
