The application failed to initialize properly (0x0150002).

Hey guys, I have a problem. When I try to run a program that I've compiled with VS 2005 on a different machine that does not have VS, I get this error.

"The application failed to initialize properly (0x0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application."

I've installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package on the target machine and have the one dll required to run my program in the program folder but I still get the error.

Any ideas?

Get the dependency walker from
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
and see whether your program actually needs one or more .dlls that you are not aware of.
