Hi,
I have a project that uses the c runtime libraries a bit of opengl and
nothing else. If I build the .exe for release using Visual Studio 6 I
can copy the .exe onto Win98,NT and 2K/XP and run it with no probs.
If I build the same .exe using Visual Studio.NET and drop the .exe
onto the above windows platforms I get prompted with errors
complaining that the .exe can't find MSVCP70...dll.
Am I doing something wrong or do I now have to use the deployment
wizard to package up dependencies that didn't exist before?
Yours confused,
Ben.

No, you're not doing anything wrong - it just happens that the VC6 runtime
DLLs are already present on the machines you've targeted, while the VS7 DLLs
are not.
You need to deploy those VC7 runtime DLLs that your app depends on. Using a
deployment project is probably the easiest way to get them installed
properly, but you're free to use any install tool of your choice. There are
merge modules (Windows Installer) for all of the VC7 runtime libraries that
are installed along with Visual Studio. They get installed into
%bootdrive%\Pro gram Files\Common Files\Merge Modules by default.

If you do not want to be dependent on the compiler dll, link your
project with static lib
By default project uses runtime in DLL, but this can be change in the
project property.

Cheers for the reply Carl - it's a shame I can't choose to link to the
old c runtime libs - my installation's dependency list is unecessarily
large for what I want to do.

Daniel - thanks for the reply - I tried linking my .dll to the c
runtime libs statically (using the /MD switch) but using process
viewer from sysinternals - when I launch my .exe - it launches my .dll
- it still launches MSVCP70..dll's - do you mean I should link my .dll
project into my.exe statically?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
My group have a ASP.NET based application ( currently
running on 1.0.3705 ). Ideally, we would like to deploy
new components(asp files/assemblies/db updates) into a
live environment without interuption. However, it appears
that upon deploying new assemblies to \appbase\bin we
immediately get 'Access is denied: xxx.dll' exceptions
(where xxx.dll is the next .dll required for loading
depending upon where the user happens to be).

I am deploying webapps using XP (IIS5) and deploying them to a Windows 2003
Server box (IIS6). So far so good. However, when I try to manage my w2k3
server from XP, I get an error message saying I can't manage an IIS6 box
from IIS5. Is anyone else seeing this?
Can I take my w2k3 server CDs and install IIS6 on my XP box? Do I have to

Thanks.

I think some of the changes to Asp.net are rediculous. Take the
ability to deploy source code to production that is compiled on the
fly.
If this is such a great model, why not distribute your source code with
your Windows Forms apps too?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
