Runtime error?

Question

How can I fix this?

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libray
Runtime Error!
Program: E:\SAL.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

SAL is self-assessment library. That is the CD I was trying to run when I got the error.

I appreciate your answer Reveille, but could you explain that in simpler terms? You've gone over my head :)

Now I get this:

Executable 'E:\sal.exe' had the following unrecoverable error:
Couldn't find library MSVCR80.dll (required by c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\msoxmlmf.dll)
Please ensure that it is installed

Answer 1

Make a new folder on your desktop and copy SAL.exe into that folder. You might need to copy every file on the CD into that folder you just created if SAL depends on them to run( including the file structure).
If youre still having problems right-click on SAL.exe (the one in the folder you just created) select Properties. Select Compatibility tab and click the checkbox "run this program in compatibility mode for" and then select an OS that SAL supports (if you have Vista try XP SP2). Also check "Run this program as an administrator"
