It almost certainly because your friends's Event.dll will have an embedded manifest requiring the VC80 CRT which you won't have installed (although you didn't say which vcredist_x64.exe you ran on your machine). Have a look at this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2006/04/14/576314.aspx for further debugging information - skip down to the Vista section, and you'll see that you can look in the event log for errors in the application log from the 'SideBySide' source to get more information about what dependency can't be located.
