Visual C++ 2010 compatibility with VC 2008

I am compiling a program with Visual C++ 2010 but I don't want everyone to have to download the redistributable package to run my programs. Most people that will be using my program already have the VC++ 2008 redistributable package though, so is there a way I can compile it with compatibility with VC 2008? Or is there a place I can download VC 2008 express?

If you set the 'Platform Toolset' to "inherit from parent or project defaults" it will work in most of the cases.

Visual Studio 2010 has an option to compile with Visual Studio 2008 toolset. You can find it under your project settings. I think the option is just labeled 'Platform Toolset' in the general properties page.
