Answering the last question is a bit involved. A program written in
whatever language uses the normal language specific
subroutine calls. The resulting object file (the output of the compiler)
refers to these subroutines as unresolved addresses.
During the link phase, which is supposed to combine the object files into an
executable program, there are at least two methods
for resolving these addresses. Note that a program will crash when the cpu
encounters an unresolved address.
The first method is to include the referenced subroutine into the program
file. The other is to defer unresolved address resolution
until the program actually runs. The second method is better because it
results in a very significant reduction in the disk space
required by all programs. The source for address resolution is called a
runtime library. There is a runtime library for every
programming language that is needed for proper operation of programs on the
system. In this instance, it is the runtime library
for the Visual C++ programming language. I would venture to say that every
Microsoft program on your computer references
this library for many many routines.
What your program displaying is that the program is making a reference to a
subroutine which should be located in the indicated
runtime library, but either the address of the subroutine or the library
itself cannot be found. Thus, the program makes an abnormal termination.
The reason for the error is not obvious to me.
