Problem transferring Photoshop action to another computer

I created a great series of actions that I want to share with others on my team but they get the error: "Current Set is not available." The first step of my action is to select a soft brush and I found that the action points to the specific location on my C drive where that brush lives. Of course it won't work on another computer! The brush is one of the standard PS brushes.

How do I alter the action so that it can be transferred to another computer?

Excuse my ignorance, but I have never heard of Photoshop Scripts and not sure how to distribute tool presets.

Interesting info. I will want to study this but it is more than I can implement right now while in a major time crunch.

If the brush is a standard brush .the Action may be able to load the brush into a users Photoshop version. Your may be able to distribute a set of tools presets with your action the action can load into to Photoshop select the Brush tool and then select one of your presets for the brush. The problem is It would be better done with a Photoshop Script it cloud test to see if the brush and presets to see if they need to be loaded. Actions can not use logic to do things like that and every time the action is played and additional load of tools presets would be done. You would wind of with a preset menu that had the same preset loaded so many times the menu would be hard to use presets menu through Photoshop's UI.
