Unable to run executable built with MSVC 8.0

[Moshe Matitya <Mo...@Kayote.com>]

I built a app using log4cxx with MSVC 8.0, and when I try to run it, it
fails at startup, producing the following error message:
 
    Unable To Locate Component
    This application has failed to start because MSVCP80D.dll was not
found.
    Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
 
Note that I get this message even when I try to run the app from inside
Visual Studio.  I haven't had this problem with any other app built with
MSVC 8.0.  Also, the app runs fine when I build it using MSVC 6.0.
 
I am using log4cxx 0.10.0 (recent snapshot) on Windows XP SP2.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
Moshe

Isn't this something that should be done by ant when building log4cxx?
 
Thanks,

I suspect you need to bind the manifest (created by the VC8 linker) into
log4cxx.dll
Something like this:-

mt.exe -nologo -manifest log4cxx.dll.manifest -outputresource:log4cxx.dll;2

MSVCP80D.dll on XP SP2 will go into the WinSxS directory, and the manifest
information
is needed to tell the loader where the DLL is.
If the .EXE already loaded MSVCP80D then you can get away without the
manifest.

HTH,
