Fatal error LNK2023: bad DLL or entry point 'msobj80.dll"

[james999]

Hi, I have just installed my new software Intel Visual Fortran, and when trying to link the sample program "hello world", i get this error message:

Fatal error LNK2023: bad DLL or entry point 'msobj80.dll"

I have found three files called "msobj80.dll" in three different directories (under program files), two of them from 7/nov/2007 and one from 8/nov/2007.

What should I do with these files to fix the problem? Thank you in advance

(Intel Visual Fortran 11.1.051, Windows XP)

Install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 from Microsoft.

Hi again,

The Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack1 Installer tells me that there isno program installed to be updated ?
Certainly, Intel Visual Fortran comes with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I've found a very small Service pack1 for this version, but I'm not sure if it is necessary to run other programas before (preparing the service pack1? microsoft page is a bit confusing here) or even if this is the problem.

Steve, what is the problem? Thank you in advance

I would not expect that you'd have an issue with msobj80.dll with VS2008 as that is a VS2005 DLL. We have this knowledge base article on the issue, but again, it references VS2005. Are you sure you aren't using the VS2005 linker somehow?
