Re: VS2008 DLL not loading

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

msvcr90d.dll is located in:
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.debugcrt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_96748342450f6aa2

I opened a command prompt with run as administrator and completed the steps:
sxstrace trace -logfile:sxstrace.etl
start the app that uses the debug dll
sxstrace parse -logfile:sxstrace.etl -outfile:sxstrace.txt

And the sxstrace.txt was empty.

Hi Harolds,

Thanks for your feedback.

I have discussed the VC++ team over this issue. Can you make sure that the
debug version of the CRT (msvcr90d.dll) is installed in the WinSxs
(c:\windows\winsxs)? And can you check that the application or the dll got
the proper manifest to load msvcr90d.dll? We believe once the dll has the
correct manifest and your system has msvcr90d.dll installed the fusion
loader can find the msvcr90d.dll without any problem.

If you are running on Vista, using sxstrace is a great way to get extra
information for debugging SxS load failures. Instructions on using sxstrace
are below, about 2/3rds of the way down the page:
"Diagnosing SideBySide failures"

If you are not running Vista, you may try to use Process Monitor to log the
file system activities of your application startup. If you have pay special
attention to VC runtime dll probings such as msvcr90d.dll, MSVCR90.dll. You
may download Process Monitor in the link below:

Thanks.
