Install VC++ 2008 runtime on destination computer:

is any other way to run without install vc++ 2008?

You don't need to install VC++ 2008, only runtime libraries. This is relatively small installation.

You need also to select correct runtime version: for 32 or 64 bit, with correct service pack. If your program has other runtime dependencies, install required third-party libraries. Use Release and not Debug build. Use http://www.dependencywalker.com/ to detect what libraries are missing.

This error message is usually associated with a bad .manifest file of the application. For example, if you have a "foo.exe" application and you put a "foo.exe.manifest" file in the same folder with random content, then you will get this error.

If you are accessing the application via a network share, then you might be running into KB 316625. Check that you really have service pack 3 on the XP computer.
