Hi All,
I am using Fedora 14 host and Windows XP SP2 as guest in Virtualbox 4.0.0 r69151. I am getting the
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error when I installed an application on guest.

Can anyone help me to fix this issue?

Help you with a non-specific non-VirtualBox error message? It doesn't look like a VBox problem, so no, you'll be lucky to get help for it here. Why not contact the people who wrote the software, as the error message suggests?

The software installed successfully if Windows XP SP2 is installed on a physical system instead of virtualbox.

I'm sure it installs on some PCs and not others, hence the need for an error message. But, it's a software error message displayed by an application running otherwise happily inside a guest. It is not a hardware failure and it is not something generated by VBox. It is possible that the hardware expected by the software does not match the hardware simulated by the VM you created. What is the software btw?

But the software is successfully working in VMWare without any problems. The software installs drivers for MediaTek Wimax chip. The software is developed using Qt4.

I'm not a VMWare user, I will not comment on what it does or doesn't do.

Why? Unless its accessed via USB there is no such chip simulated by your virtual PC? Are you confusing virtual vs physical?
If you are just trying to get internet access going from a VM then the proper way is to use one of the available virtual NIC options. It is not relevant what physical hardware the host uses.
