Hi Dave,
after testing several combinations I can tell you following, because
maybe I couldn't make clear what my problem is. The msvcr80.dll is
correctly installed in the
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700
respective the
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.163_x-ww_681e29fb
folder for my german version of Windows XP.
What I don't understand is why the msvcr80.dll is not copied to the
PostgreSQL\8.3\bin directory by the PostgreSQL 8.3 setup.
Because it's not supposed to be.
Because when I
check the libpq.dll with the Dependancy Viewer, the msvcr80.dll can not
be found, however it is installed in the above two folders. And that's
where my application comes into play. The libpq.dll can't be used
because it does not find the msvcr80.dll. Did you check on that before?
Can you load this library?
Yes - if the runtimes are *properly* installed, any application should
be able to find them in the winsxs folder - thats how Microsoft
designed it to work.
Did you try doing what I asked in my previous message?
I finally found the problem. I unfortunately used an "very" old version
of Dependency Walker which couldn't handle the libpq.dll and always
showed that the msvcr80.dll is missing. After installing PostgreSQL 8.3
and updating the Dependency Walker, everything seems to be fine and my
application can use the libpq.dll. Will test it again in the next days.
However, one question remains. On my clean Virtual PC Image, there is
already a folder
"C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.163_x-ww_681e29fb"
containing the msvcr80.dll. After installing PostgreSQL or the runtimes,
there is another folder
"C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700".
But only the path of the dll installed with the runtimes is recognized.
Does that mean our customers have to install the runtimes at all costs?
That would be the case if our application is running on a client, not
the server PostgreSQL is installed on?
Thanks again.
Regards,
Hermann
