tdm c dll example WriteFile.C getting error the storage could not be opened

[Genesis]

While using the TDM C DLL in visual Studio 2010 on a windows 7 64 bit machine I get the following.

Generating data file...

Error: The storage could not be opened.

End of program, press Enter key to quit

Any clues why?

I can think of two reasons:

• It is not possible to write here

static const char * FILE_PATH		= ".\\sampleFile.tdm";

•  The resulting exe is not in the same folder as the runtime components
  

  Dominonilibddc\dev\bin\64-bit
  Dominonilibddc\dev\bin\32-bit

• The microsoft runtime of the ddc lib is not installed on the system. VS 2010 has a different runtime. So the MSVC redist that DDC depends on is missing.
  

  Dominonilibddc\redist\64-bit\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86_x64.msm
  Dominonilibddc\redist\32-bit\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm

   This can be checked if you open for example

  Dominonilibddc\dev\bin\64-bit\usiEx.dll
