There is a known problem with redistribution of non-dotNet\VC++ applications developed in VS 2005.
It's not enough to supply the required dlls, as at some points your application will still fail to launch on a fresh installations of Windows OS.
The only workaround for this situation is to deploy "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package" with your installation.
SkinCrafter engine is written in VC++, and since version 3.0 SkinCrafter ActiveX will be built in VS 2005 too.
Therefore, it's highly recommended to bare in mind the fact of MS VC++ Redist Package dependency when upgrading and deploying your products.
One more note, there are two versions of VC++ Redistribution package available at Microsoft website:
1) Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
2) Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
We will use the latest SP1 version.
