(Not particularly directed at the OP - more for people googling the message as I was initially)

Have a look in the Windows Error logs (eventvwr.exe). A malformed .exe.config and other such snafus can also [confusingly] trigger the same headline message.

Have you built your program in debug mode? That will cause a problem since the CRT (C Run-Time Libraries) in the redistributable package is built in release mode. That also explains why your program works again when you install Visual Studio on the other computer, since it includes debug builds of CRT.

Solution: build your application in release mode.
