"MSVCR80.dll not found" : Release only

[Draznar]

Thank you for the tip. I ran this dependency walker on my release .exe and it did find two issues.

It can't find MSVCR80.dll or this mysterious one I have never heard of DWMAPI.dll. I did a search on my system and MSVCR80.dll is on my system in multiple folders, but this DWMAPI.dll is not on my system, so that is obviously a problem. A quick google search for this DWMAPI.dll seems to indicate that this .dll is a Vista specific .dll. I am perplexed why my project would be dependent on such a .dll

Also as an experiment, I copied MSVCR80.dll into my project folder and ran it. When I do this i get a different error, maybe this is link with the DWMAPI.dll. The box just says Runtime Error! Lists the file path to my .exe and then says, "R6034"

I forgot to mention is earlier and I'm not sure if this is relevant but my project is using COM. I'm still a bit lost so any further advice would be appreciated.
