.exe has stopped working

hellow. I have a problem. I created a little program in C++ and it was working quite good on my computer. but when I tried to open that program on my laptop it required 2 dll files and when I downloaded them it says that "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available."

-please give me some advise..

Hi, welcome to this forum...on Linux questions...it seems you have a ***dows problem. I (for one) cannot help here. Maybe (loooooong shot) someone can, but I'm sure at msdn's they can help

Regarding any Linux (and maybe even FreeBSD related) questions...we...can help

Again, welcome here...

.dll library's and .exe programs are MICROSOFT WINDOWS software

they are not linux

linux uses .so library's

this error

is a typical NON helpful typical Microsoft bull-crap that are almost all Microsoft errors
-- learn to live with it -- that is Microsoft

normally on linux you would run "strace"
but that is NOT a microsoft tool

search the windows website for "process explorer "

and use that tool

but i am assuming you used Microsoft Visual Studio
-- just do a normal everyday debug of the code

@OP: This most likely means you forgot to check for errors; whenever you call a function, check its return value, in case of error, print a message to stderr (or a MessageBox, in GUI mode). Don't hasitate to call GetLastError, to find out the details.

There's absolutely nothing to say that those DLL's are the appropriate versions for your laptop. Like Linux, Windows also has variations per system as well as per revision of the OS.

Did you build your project using Visual Studio, you can control the dependencies and create a one-click installer file which should then check for dependencies and download, or prompt to download, the proper ones which match the version of the OS which lies on each particular system.
