WinXP: namebench could not be executed (missing VC++ libraries)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download and run the namebench-1.0.exe.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected the application to be installed. Instead, got the following error:

[user.dir]\Locals~1\Temp\ckz_XDSV\namebench.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration 
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
namebench version: 1.0
OS version: Win XP Professional Version 2002 SP2

This appears to be due to missing VC DLL's. I assumed they shipped with Windows 
because all of my test-systems had them, but it appears to not be the case. Do 
you 
mind installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package 
(x86)":

4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en

If this works for you, I will make sure to bundle these DLL's with the next 
release of 
namebench. Thanks for the report!

Yes, I got the same issue/error and after installing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 
SP1
Redistributable Package (x86)" (vcredist_x86.exe), I was able to run namebench 
1.0.

I'm a bit skeptical, but this may have been fixed by some packaging changes in 
version 
1.0.3. Can anyone confirm if they still run into this issue?

Tried 1.0.2 this a.m. and got the OPs error. Just tried 1.0.3 and although it's 
a
different installer, after the extraction process I get a dialog that states
"namebench.exe could not be executed" (see attached gif.) Am unable to download 
VC
2k8 due to corporate blocks, will download tonight and can try tomorrow.

Thanks sunglint for confirming that 1.0.3 does not fix this issue yet.

Installing the VC DLL fixed the issue for me.  Thanks for merging/updating this 
issue.

I have the same issue, but this is not a deal to additionally install
some-I-do-not-know-what in my already stable system (WinXP).

To fix this issue, follow the instructions on Microsoft's website:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d
-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

While I could in theory redistribute the package with namebench, I choose not 
to as
Microsoft does not provide the source code for this library. 

The FAQ has been updated to reflect this.
