Manifest related error on windows xp sp2 machine

[Abubakar]

Hi.

I got the following error while running an exe made in visual studio 2k5c++
(all native unmanaged)

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
---------------------------
Debug Error!

Program: D:\Otengo\dlls\winproj.exe

R6034

An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library without
using a manifest.
This is an unsupported way to load Visual C++ DLLs. You need to modify your
application to build with a manifest.
For more information, see the "Visual C++ Libraries as Shared Side-by-Side
Assemblies" topic in the product documentation.



(Press Retry to debug the application)
---------------------------
Abort Retry Ignore
---------------------------

The machine I'm trying to run this on is a windows XP with sp2.

At first I was running this application as a "release" exe with the required
dlls, but the application was crashing. Then I tried to run a debug version
and got the error mentioned above. How do I solve this problem?

Regards,

-Ab.

Under your VC installation directory, you may find:

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist

and beneath that directories appropriate for your platform.

Copy the appropriate Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT sub-directory to the
place where your application is so that you get a directory like this:

c:\....\YourAppDir\Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT

... and do the same for any other dependent DLLs (MFC maybe)

and then your debug application should run.

And what about the release application? My main purpose is to run the
"release" build app.

And what about the release application? My main purpose is to run the

"release" build app.

with release build you will have to distribute the release runtime dlls or
link against the static runtime libraries.
there is an article about runtime distribution over here:

I guess VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC80.CRT will help right ?

I place these folders there for debug application and it doesnt run.

"Doesn't run" isn't very informative.

Do you get any errors messages now?

Hey the problem is solved. The folder copy that you suggested worked! (Just
so it can help someone in the future I'm writing here what I did):

Dev Environment: I'm running an application that uses WTL for gui, and I'm
building (developing) on visual c++ 2005 (all unmanaged/native) on windows
2000 sp4.

Now I have a fresh "release" build. My "exe" depends on (check through
depends.exe):
1 - cpplib.dll (this is my own dll)
2 - msvcp80.dll
3 - msvcr80.dll

My test machine1 is a new install of windows xp with sp2. The vs.net
installation has never been run on that machine.
I create a new folder (lets call it "testdir") and copy winproj.exe (my
application that I want to test) and cpplib.dll to it. Next I goto:
\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x86\
and copy "Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT" folder to the folder "testdir". So now my
folder hierarchy look like following:
? cpplib.dll
? winproj.exe
?
????Microsoft.VC80.CRT
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
msvcm80.dll
msvcp80.dll
msvcr80.dll

Now I try to run the winproj.exe and it runs just fine!
Now I want to try this on another test machine that has a never installed
visual studio on it and is running windows 2000. I copy the same folder
hierarchy and the run the exe but it fails to run. Now I change the folder
hierarchy a little bit. What I do is copy every file in the same folder as
my exe file, so the manifest and the dlls and the exe are all at the same
location. Now i try to run the exe and it runs. This hierarchy now also runs
on windows xp. So I have one dsitributeable and any one can xcopy it and
run.

Regards n thanks,
