RE: Problem with side-by-side information

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi, Markus,
I understand that you could run your application compiled on Vista with
VS2005 SP1 but could not run it on Windows XP.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

Did you directly copy your application from Vista to XP? If so, this is an
expected behavior. Actually conversely if you compiled your application on
Windows XP with Visual Studio 2005 SP1, when you copy it to Windows Vista
(without VS2005 SP1), this issue may also occur.

Although the manifest and the DLLs are in the same directory; however the
VC80 DLLs in WinSxS folder before and after VS2005 SP1 installed are
different . This issue should not occur if both of your computers have
VS2005 SP1 installed.

However you can refer to this article for deploying your side-by-side
assemblies:

How to: Deploy using a Setup and Deployment Project

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.

Best regards,
Charles Wang
