I have a program compiled and built on vs2005, windows xp. when I tried to run the same executable on windows2008 I got an application error. How to run exes created on xp/2000 on windows 2008? error I got : application failed to initialize properly

Hello, This issue should be caused by the reason that the program has some compatibility issue with Windows Server 2008. I recommend you comply the program which will be run in Windows Server 2008 on the same OS machine. If youd like to find a work around, you may want to put this thread in the following MSDN forum, as you are likely to find people more knowledgeable about development issues there. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/default.aspx?siteid=1 Thanks.
