I have a C++ application (quite complex, multiple projects) in Visual Studio 2008, that produces a single dll. Recently I switched to Windows 7, but had previously been compiling under Windows XP. Suddenly the dll in question cannot be loaded by another application, i.e. on a machine running Windows 2003 Server.
I've been trying various things:
I've installed the VC9.0 redistributable package on the server
Also copied various .dll's from that package to the application folder
The project is of course compiled in release mode
When I run depends.exe on the client machine, I do get the following error:
"Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "my_dll.dll" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
and the icon for shlwapi.dll has a red overlay icon.
This didn't happen when I was compiling under WinXP, so I'm guessing that there really is no problem with the .dll's on the client machine, but somewhere there is a reference to that particular version of some dll.
Does anyone know what would be the best way to resolve this?
