Unresolved references to Microsoft.VC80.CRT with GDS32.dll from v2.1.5.18496 x86 windows installer package ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-3901 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3901 Project: Firebird Core Issue Type: Bug Components: API / Client Library Affects Versions: 2.1.5 Environment: MS Windows XP/SP3 x86 Reporter: Neil Pickles Attachments: error 1.png, error 2.png, error 3.png Our application requires GDS32.dll. We don't have Firebird installed on all machines, just the ones with databases on. Usually we put the relevant GDS32.dll into our application folder on all machines and up to v2.1.4.18393 this all works absolutely fine whether Firebird is installed on the terminal or not. where we do have Firebird installed it is running SuperServer with all default options set (not that I think this makes any difference). Now, with the latest update v2.1.5.18496, if we just copy the v2.1.5 GDS32.dll from the Firebird server into our application folder, when we try to launch our application on a terminal without Firebird installed we are getting SideBySide system errors recorded in the Windows event log and our application fails to launch. I am unable to attach the screenshots to this ticket, the text of the three errors are as follows:- Error 1:- Source: SideBySide, EventID: 32, Description: Dependant Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. Error 2:- Source: SideBySide, EventID: 59, Description: Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. Error 3:- Source SideBySide, EventID: 59 , Description: Generate Activation Context failed for c:\progra~1\csy\vector7\gds32.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully. If we drop in the v2.1.4.18393 version of GDS32.dll everything works fine with no other changes so it would seem to be an issue with the v2.1.5 GDS32.dll. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
