[SDL] Problem when running my SDL game

[Edward Byard]

Hi David

Many thanks for your reply.

My target system has MSCVR80d.dll installed - after I downloaded the re-distributable package from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647

My developmeny systems runs VC++ Express 2005 version 8.0.5 something, with a .NET framework version 2.0.5. Where exactly do you find out which service pack of VC++ you're running?

My app is a simple console based project, so surely I don't require the .NET framework re-distributables!?

I had compiled it in Release mode ;-)

Hi Edward,

I'm going to guess that you are using MSVC++ 2005 
(maybe express edition, like me, since it's free!). The stupid thing is that MS 
changed the way the MSVCR80.dll gets used. It must be "installed". If it's 
not... you get that exact error - very unhelpful.

 

You also must have the version of the 
redistributable (dll) package that matches the Service Pack version of the 
MSVC++ that you are running. (for example, I'm running Service Pack 1 of the 
MSVC++ 2005, so I had to install the SP1 version of the redistributable 
files.)

 

You also must build your program in release mode, 
instead of debug.

 

I ran into the exact same situation a couple of 
nights ago while trying to install one of my games on my brother's laptop... 
What a pain! I wish we could just copy the .dll's into the executable's folder 
like before, but alas!

 

Hope some of that was useful!

  Hi

I've written a game under SDL, but when I come to run it on 
  another PC, even though I have all the DLLs I can think of, I get
"This 
  application has failed to start because the application configuration is 
  incorrect. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

HELP!!! 
  Is there anything I've missed? As I say, it's on other PCs without VC++ 
  installed, but that have the Windows re-distributable installed.

What's 
  going wrong?!

Thanks in advance..

Ed
