Problems running on some computers

Hi,
I am trying to use the library in Windows Server 2008 R2, and, in some computers, it fails to load AlphaVSS.x64.dll.
It does not happen in all servers, in some of them it works, in other it doesn't.
The error is this:
Impossibile caricare il file o l'assembly 'AlphaVSS.x64.dll' o una delle relative dipendenze. Impossibile trovare il modulo specificato.

That, in english, sounds like:
Could not load file or assembly 'AlphaVSS.x64.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.

The dll file is placed in the same directory of AlphaShadow.exe.
On the same computer I also tried to use a previous version (1.2.4000.3) of the AlphaVSS library and the error remains the same.

Thanks
Francesco

Hi,
after much research I found what the problem was:
Microsoft C Runtime library was not installed on the machines where the program didn't run.
Maybe it could be a good thing to put this requirement in the project documentation to help other developers who, like me, does not know that when using a Visual C++ dll or exe there must be the C Runtime installed.

Thanks for this awesome project!
Francesco
