  1. POSide by side madness - running binaries on the same computer
    text
    copied!<p>Here's my configuration:</p> <ul> <li>Computer A - Windows 7, MS Visual Studio 2005 patched for Win7 compatibility (8.0.50727.867)</li> <li>Computer B - Windows XP SP2, MS Visual Studio 2005 installed (8.0.50727.42)</li> </ul> <p>My project has some external dependencies (prebuilt DLLs - either build on <strong>A</strong> or downloaded from the Internet), a couple of DLLs built from sources and one executable. I am mostly developing on <strong>A</strong> and all is fine there. At some point I try to build my project on computer <strong>B</strong>, copying the prebuilt DLLs to the output folder. Everything builds fine, but trying to start my application I get </p> <blockquote> <p>The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002).... </p> </blockquote> <p>The event log contains two of those:</p> <blockquote> <p>Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. </p> </blockquote> <p>plus the slightly more amusing </p> <blockquote> <p>Generate Activation Context failed for some.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.</p> </blockquote> <p>At this point I'm trying my Google-Fu, but in vain - virtually all hits are about running binaries on machines <em>without</em> Visual Studio installed. In my case, however, the executables fail to run on the computer they are built.</p> <p>Next step was to try dependency walker and it baffled me even more - my DLLs built from sources on the same box cannot find <code>MSVCR80.DLL</code> and <code>MSVCP80.DLL</code>, however the executable seems to be alright in respect to those two DLLs i.e. when I open the executable with dependency walker it shows that the <code>MSVC?80.DLL</code>s can be found, but when I open one of my DLLs it says they cannot. That's where I am completely out of ideas what to do so I'm asking you, dear stackoverflow :)</p> <p>I admit I'm a bit blurry on the whole side-by-side thing, so general reading on the topic will also be appreciated. </p>
