I too have seen the "This application has failed to start because of the 
application configuration is incorrect." error with VC++ Express Edition.

I can't help you but here are some observations in case anyone's interested:

* My main workstation (1) has both VS 2005 and VC++ EE. However, I use 
CGAL with VC++ EE (mainly because it's fast and has a simpler UI) and have 
no problems on this machine.

* My other workstation (2) (seldom used) has only VS 2005. If I take a 
VC++ EE CGAL solution from 1 to this one and try to compile it with VS 
2005, there are no problems. However, when I run the application I see the 
"application config" error. And here's the weird part -- it happens only 
with the debug build. A release build .exe runs without problems.

I know the above problem is related somehow to SxS issues, but I haven't 
had the time+energy to figure it out.
