What you had was dll hell. You had unintentionally used a dynamic linkage with the previous compiler where it just happened on most target systems there was an appropriate C runtime. Windows often included VC 6 CRT, and with more recent SP even VC7 & 8 CRT.

When you changed to the latest VC compiler most systems will not have the new VC runtime pre installed for you.

Or you could include the CRT and manifest in the same folder, still doesn't require install.

Or include the vcredist.exe from VS2010 and have a 1 off install
