Visual Fortran Com Server and Visual Studio 2008 Setup and Deployment Project

[CJTalbot]

Good Afternoon,

I'm currently trying to deploy a Fortran Com Server and VB.Net Project to a test machine via a setup and deployment project in visual studio 2008. Both the Fortran and vb.net project are talking to each other and are working correctly however when I deploy the application the test machine is unable to register the Fortran .dll.

I have noticed that the debug folder has over 189 items in it where as the installer package only deploys 3 files via the primary output: .dll, .lib and a .pdb.

Any ideas what Im doing wrong, your help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Colin

Your DLL is probably dependent on one or more DLLs from the Fortran and MSVC libraries. For Fortran, we don't yet have a redistributable installer, but that is coming very soon. In the meantime you'll have to figure out which DLLs it depends on (use Dependency Walker) and copy those to a folder on PATH on the target system. For MSVC, install the appropriate redistributables installer for the version of Visual Studio you have (VS2005 if you're using the one bundled with Fortran.) You can find those on Microsoft's site.
