Microsoft, in their nearly infinite wisdom, does not distribute the 
runtime needed to run apps built with MSVC++.  You have to go here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Browse.aspx?displaylang=en&productID=C0037913-9E11-4A2D-8FD1-0BA441296CBC

and download and install Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package - 
that contains msvcr80.dll and other files needed at runtime.
