run exe file on another computer

I've build an app in VS2008 and built an exe file.

when I copy the exe file to another computer it doesn't work.

I get the message: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.

can someone please write the simple steps needed for this to be solved?

thanks.

Similarly, any other DLLs or libraries that this EXE needs will need copying across if they are not present on the target system. This message appears on Vista/7 machines if required libraries are missing or corrupt.

You need to install the VS2008 runtime redistributable.

VS2008

VS2008 SP1

The version of the runtime needs to match the version of VS that compiled the program.
