Hello.

I am sorry if this should go to a different forum.

I'd like to ask for your advice regarding DLLs:
I am using a 3rd party dll (source code not available to me) in my C++ program, which fails to load; the error returned (from a call to LoadLibrary() ) is:

"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail"

From SxSTrace, I got this:
INFO: Attempt to probe manifest at C:\Users\***\<DLL LOCATION>\Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT\Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT.MANIFEST.
INFO: Did not find manifest for culture Neutral.
INFO: End assembly probing.
ERROR: Cannot resolve reference Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8".
ERROR: Activation Context generation failed.

I tried installing the VC Redistributable package on my system (Vista Home Premium, 32 bit), but it didn't help.

Do you have any idea what to try?

Thanks a lot!

Melanie

Are you sure that there is no dependency of that '3'rd party DLL'?
Is there a *.lib for that dll?
