Solution 1

You should run vc_redistx86.exe (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf[^], or the x64 version) on the target machines.

Solution 2

In addition to CPallini's answer, if you don't include standard C++ libraries, i.e. #include <cstdlib>, you will not need to distribute the C++ runtime. Visual C++ 2008 has access to the .Net framework, which in most cases provides equivalent functionality to cstdlib.

This is really an ancient posting, but if I add my $0.02 here..

Installing the redistribution package became very tricky now as there are so many different versions.

Instead of compiling the program in DLL, I suggest to use the Static Library Linking.
I don't know how big your program is. Static Library Linking will generate the executable file around 4~5MB which is not to bad.. Then you don't need to release the redistribution package.
