Does the second system have Win7 SP1 installed?

My best guess is that it doesn't but the first one does. Win7 didn't support the new Sandy-Bridge (i.e. newer Core i7) AVX instructions until SP1 and AVX binaries simply wont run. The solutions are to either update to SP1 or build your binary to target an older architecture (i.e. compile with -tp nehalem-64).

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Mat!

My desktop has win 7 (professional) sp1 installed.
Both have PGI Visual Fortran installed: my laptop (Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU) is 13.4 and desktop (Intel Core i7 CPU) is 12.1.

The strange thing is: the compiled code in my laptop can't run on my desktop, but the compiled cod on my desktop can run on my laptop.

I'm not sure if the above information is helpful for you.
I don't want to target some specific processor, because I want my code fully portable to different computers.

Thank you again!

Thanks, Mat!

But, it's still not working.
In both my computers, I have VS 2008 installed.

Hmm. It really does sound like the Open Tools 11 vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist.exe just need to be run on the desktop, but let's got back and see if we can get more information about what the actual error is.

Can you please run the exe on your desktop within a command shell and see if more errors are printed? Also, I'd like you to build on the laptop in 32-bits and then run it on the desktop (sometimes 32-bit mode gives more error messages).
