I have a C++ dependency issue that I'm trying to figure out.
A.DLL depends on: ( compiled by us using VS2008 )
MSCOREE.dll
KERNEL32.dll
MSVCM90.DLL 9.0.21022.8
MSVCR90.dll 9.0.21022.8
MSVCP90.dll 9.0.21022.8
B.DLL
B.DLL depends on: ( compiled by third party using VS2005 )
WS2_32.dll
KERNEL32.dll
MSVCR80.dll 8.0.50727.4053
MSVCP80.dll 8.0.50727.4053
In my installer I'm currently using the microsoft merge modules to deploy the
c/c++ 8/9 dll's to winsxs. Here's where it get's interesting: If I open
B.DLL in depends it resolves all DLL's. If I open A.DLL in depends it resolves
A's dependencies but for B it says that it can't find the MSVCR80 or MSVCP80.
If I copy these two DLL's into the application directory it finds them ( even
if it's the wrong version ).
I have a hunch what's going on here but I'd really hope that someone who really
understands it could lead me to enlightenment and best practices for this type
of problem.
Thanks,
Chris
