[impdev] Windows build issues

Wed Apr 20 11:22:43 PDT 2011

I just looked and I get the same thing in the official releases, so there's
probably a library that needs to be updated. The ideal solution would be to
just rebuild all the libs and target the same version of the CRT (4053 or
whatever the new version is that was sneak-released a couple of days ago,
grr). Several of them are fairly old, too.

Did you resolve your issue with getting a build that runs?

msvcr80.dll and
msvcp80.dll, both have version 8.0.50727.4053.  There is no
.exe.config file in the directory, or Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest

The manifest is supposed to go along with the crt dlls. At least, that's the
intent. Windows voodoo, there.

Anyway.

If you're still getting a runtime error, my suggestions:

- Check the Event Viewer. That'll have more information on what version of
the CRT it's trying to find but failing at.
- Use NickyP's Visual Studio 2010 changes he linked above. This might be
more difficult, but his branch will be merged in for 1.4 anyway.
- Uninstall then reinstall .NET. Sometimes this'll fix conflicts with the
WinSxS folder.
- Google the error message. There could be a fix out there none of us on
this list have a clue about.

Let us know how it's going. Cheers!

"Work is love made visible." — Kahlil Gibran

"We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear
into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and doctrine and
remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared
to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes which were for the
moment unpopular. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot
escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of the
Republic to abdicate his responsibility." -- Edward R. Murrow, March 9, 1954
