Hello,
I have WinXpSp3 Home edition and VS2010 installed on it.
My problem is when i create a windows application, it works fine, but when i shut down my PC i try to run the application from outside the VS2010 from (Bin\Debug\MyApp.exe) i get this error :

  • The application failed to initialize properly (0x000007b)

I re-installed VS2010 and still the problem.
I installed a fresh copy of WinXpSp3 Pro and i still get the same problem.
I re-installed my home edition WinXpSp3 and VS 2010 again and still the same problem.
The strange thing is that when i run my application on another PC with VS2010 THE SAME VERSION OF os AND VS it works fine WITH NO PROBLEM.
And when i try another application from another PC on my PC i get the same problem ....
Any suggestions?!
I'm suffering here .................
