    Hi! My app used to work fine on another computer when I was using VS2k3 but since I've been using VS2k5-MFC8 my app just won't start! I used Dependency Walker to see what was going on and I got this error: Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information in "c:\myapp.EXE" I did put all the required files in the folder: mfc80.dll mfc80u.dll mfcm80.dll mfcm80u.dll msvcr80.dll I think this is related to the new manifest file used by Windows to know which dll version your app is using but right now I'm really stuck. I also tried to statically link to MFC with no luck. Anyone can help me? Luc

      In your Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86 folder, there should be a file called vcredist_x86.exe. Run it on the other machine.

        Create a file called "myapp.exe.local" in the same dir as myapp.exe. That will make the DLL loader look in that directory first. (On second thought, I don't know if the .local file overrides the SxS system. Try it and see) --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ
