Re: Program crashes in msvcrt.dll

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It is not necessary for the development machine to be the same os-version as
the target machines. Sometimes it is necessary to build specific versions
of your application on a per-os-version basis.

You should run the application under the debugger on the machines that have
a problem, and look at the call stack when it crashes. There is a defect in
your application that should be pretty easy to spot.
