Using C++ dll in Excel

[Guest]

Hi,

I built a .dll in VS2005/C++ for MS-Excel. It works fine on my PC and
other PC's that have the same VS2005/C++. It does not work on PCs that do
not have VS2005/C++ or even on my PC when I uninstall VS2005/C++. Any
suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks a ton!

This is probably not the newsgroup to answer your question.
Most of the programming solutions provided here are done in VBA
..
My knowledge of VS2005/C++ is limited to the fact the Schwab loaded a
VS2005/C++ Redistributable on my machine when I installed one of their packages.
If they can do it, you probably can to. However, I doubt if many Excel users
would appreciate that being dumped on them (5.2MB).

There appears to much information at this link covering deployment of VS2005/C++;
maybe it will be some help to you ( I don't understand it)...

Hello,

Try to compile your DLL with the /Mt (release mode) or /Mtd (debug mode) option.
This will link your DLL statically with the runtime C++ library. Otherwise,
the DLL can't work if the runtime MSVCR80.dll is not present on the PC.

Where do you check those options? Does your DLL work on computers that do not
have VS2005 installed?

Thanks
