Perhaps you are installing to machines that already have the run-time
installed?  In other words, you have not deployed to a clean  machine -
like a clients.  Or maybe your NSIS installer is doping it for you.

The point is you cannot install the latest MS C-runtime onto a machine
without it installed simply by copying it.  If the machine already has the
latest runtime, then you will not have this problem.   You have to build a
special set-up package to properly install them.  Simply copying does not
work.  The great part is that the setup packages built by MS Visual Studio
require .Net !!!!

Anyway - Here is a link describing the situation and solution - if you
google it there are millions more:

I haven't had this issue, I deploy C++ applications with Visual Studio 2005

all the time without using the MS installers. I prefer NSIS (an open source

installer framework) to the crap that MS has. I have NEVER in any version
of
Visual Studio had a problem distrubuting my applications. If you write
native
C++ apps, all you have to worry about is the C/C++ runtime, there is no
requirement for .NET at all.
