Cannot run MFC-compiled application on Win98se
-
:omg:I have rather wide experience, programming using MFC5 (MFC42.dll) with MS VC++ 6.0. Recently I obtained VS .NET. I've made MFC-application, link MFC as static library and run the app on Win98se. Here I was notified about absence of OLEACC.dll although I did not check to use Accessibility API in MFC app wizard. Then I have made a setup project for my app. It included OLEACC.dll and other required files. This time win98se said that it couldn’t run OLEACC.dll, and ask me to check for contents of this library. Someone ever met such a problem. Is there any way to build my MFC projects with .Net and run them on Win9x/NT/XP? Or I should use VC6 as before?

For some reason, VC7 apps seem to always link to oleacc.dll. The way around it is to delay loading it (have it load only if and when required). First you have to link to delayimp.lib.
#pragma comment (lib, "delayimp.lib")
Then set your app settings Project => Properties => Linker => Advanced => Delay loaded Dll => Support... Project => Properties => Linker => Input => Delay loaded DLLs => "oleacc.dll"
