Hi Guys,

Need to check with u who has experience in shipping apps build using VS.net
2003. I'm thinking of porting over to VS.net 2003, but not sure if there
are any additional redist or newer version of the redist, DLL that I need to
bundle with my application if I recompiled my older projects in VS.net.

For a pure Win32 app, what redist/DLL do I need to bundle?

For a MFC app, what redist/DLL do I need to bundle?

thanks for the help
dan

For any C++ you'll probably need some variety of the C runtime msvcr71.dll
installed in your app folder. For MFC apps you'll need mfc71.dll, ATL needs
atl71.dll.
See these (71 is the VS version - articles that talk about msvcr70.dll and
mscvr71.dll should also be useful).

Hi Phil

thanks for the info, after reading the articles, I have another question:
One of my app is actually a Shell namespace extension, if I recompile it
using VS.net 2003, where should I place the msvcr71.dll? in the
System/system32 folder, but that would against MS recommendation of putting
it into the application folder (since my application in this case is Windows
explorer)? Also, if I throw it into the system folder, I may introduce DLL
hell...what should I do?

thanks a lot
dan
