RE: Side-by-Side hell with Visual Studio 2005 SP1

Hi,

The real problem is exactly in our deployment executable.

We deploy our application using an .msi and an own setup.exe, and we put
both in a installation CD. To install our application the user has to execute
our setup.exe, but if the VC libraries are not installed on the target
computer the setup fails to execute. The SP1 VC dlls are in the same folder
that the setup.exe in the installation CD.

Setup.exe is failing since we started compiling it with SP1, because it
depends on VC dlls, including ATL.

Regards

Hi,
Unfortunately I have not got a response from the product team; however from
my research, this issue is most likely related to your current deployment
method. Your depends could not find the DLL since the DLL path name was
different on both computers. Please use any of the following two methods to
re-deploy your application to see if this issue persists:
Method 1:
How to: Deploy using XCopy
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291(VS.80).aspx

Method2:
How to: Deploy using a Setup and Deployment Project
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235317(VS.80).aspx

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any other
questions or concerns.

Have a good day!
