I think you need to install the VS 2008 runtime on the XP system. You can do that several ways, including:

Update:

Your program seems to be having a problem resolving a reference that's being looked for in msvcrt.dll - a system DLL that is not directly part of the VS 2008 runtime (msvcrt90.dll). I tested some of the Qt demos in VS 2008 with the Qt addin, and I don't see them directly linking to msvcrt.dll (as I expect, the programs link to msvcr90.dll).

However, when I look at the programs using Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/), I do see that msvcrt.dll is pulled in - a result of linking to advapi32.dll (on my WinXP system, the link to msvcrt.dll is indirect though netapi32.dll). The copy of msvcrt.dll on my WinXP SP3 system doesn't have an export for wcscpy_s while the one on Win7 does. But nothing using msvcrt.dll on WinXP attempts to import wcscpy_s, so there's no problem that it's not exported.

I suggest you use something like Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to find out what's trying to pull in the missing wcscpy_s symbol from msvcrt.dll. I think that chances are good that you have a DLL that doesn't belong on WinXP or should be rebuilt to be 'XP-compatible'.
