Error: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
This error message occurs usually when VC++ libraries are not installed. NActivate tool uses assemblies developed in VC++. Windows 2003 installation does not install Visual C++ Libraries required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2005 SP1 installed.
