.NET Forum / Languages / C++ Libraries / March 2006MSVCP80D.dll error
I'm using makefiles to build my project, in which all the source files are written in C/C++. This project has already been compiled with VC7.1 and working. Now I'm trying to modify the makefiles to also use the VC8.0 compiler to build it. Amongst other errors, and warning, one notable error message reads as follows: "THIS application has failed to start because MSVCP80D.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this PROBLEM" I do not know what's causing this problem. Is there some way to specify in my makefiles where to find this dll? If there's some compiler command (/something) that I could simply add to my makefile and make this problem go away, that would be great. Could someone please help?

Re-installing the application may fix this PROBLEM" Do you have the correct manifest embedded into your EXE?  SignatureGreetings Jochen My blog about Win32 and .NET http://blog.kalmbachnet.de/ Hello I'm not sure. Do you know how could I verify that? The project dlls are generated without any problems. However, I also have some modules for unit testing in my project, which use the cppUnit libraries (v1.10.2). Specifically, when these are being executed, I get this error with the following few lines in the cygwin bash shell: ####### starting runcpptests make[1]: [runcpptests] Error 53 (ignored) make[1]: [runcpptests] Error 53 (ignored) make[1]: [runcpptests] Error 53 (ignored) make[1]: [runcpptests] Error 53 (ignored) make[1]: [runcpptests] Error 53 (ignored) ####### runcpptests done The same project ran seamless in VS 7.1.Do you know if there's something different in VS 8.0 which makes this error generate? Thank you Alright I think I sort of figured out why it was not executing. It seems like the makefiles I'm using (they've been made by someone else) generate the test executable and place a copy of it in another folder, where it itends to keep all the project dlls. It does not however copy the Test.exe.manifest file to this folder, making it impossible for the executable to latch on to the dll MSVP80D.dll. So is the manifest what tells the executable which .NET library it has to link with? Is this something new in the new .NET 2.0, or was it there also in the older ones? Thank you for your kind help. > So is the manifest what tells the executable which .NET library it has > to link with?
