I'm new to manifest's and WinSxS. When I create an app in Intel 9.1, I have been also generating a manifest file. Looking inside this file I see it points to shared components such as MCVC80 DLL's, and looking at the relevant lines in this file I see directories under c:windowsWinSxS which look a lot like these lines. So I guess the manifest file tells my exe where to find these shared components in the WinSxS directory.
Now when I copy this exe and manifest file to another PC, the app fails to load. Depends says: "
Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information in "d: esting uningR2SL_MPI_REL.EXE" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).
"
This machine has other versions of the MSVC80 DLL's in the WinSxS directory. I presumethis is the reason why the EXE fails as it trying to load older versions of the MSVC80 DLL's than it needs. (Shouldn't the Intel generated EXE be backwards compatible?). Be that as it may, how can I get the Intel EXE to use other versions of these DLL's, like one's in the same directory as the EXE? LISTDLLS shows that the Intel EXE still looks in the SxS directory for these DLL's even though later versions are local.
Any help greatly appreciated.
