Use dependency walker to identify dpendent dlls, and make sure , they are shipped on target machine.

I used "depends.exe". I came to know that msvcp71d.dll and msvcr71d.dll are missing. Its working now.
Thanks everyone.

These are debug versions of dlls, run dependecy walker on release version of your exe and find appropriate version of dlls.

You cannot distribute these "debug" files. In your initial post you said that, "I have taken the EXE from Release..." Is this not the case?

Make sure the libraries you've linked with, both explicitly and implicitly, are present on the target machine.

You may have other problems, but you definitely need static linking.
Go to project->settings
Click on the general tab
Select "use MFC in a static library"
press OK
Select build->rebuild all

Why would you suggest this, when it's obvious that he has built a 'debug' version of the application? The problem is the 'debug' DLLs are not present, nor should they be, on the target machine.

Exactly my point. If you use static linking, then you can run the program on the other machine without the other machine needing the DLLs, just copy across the exe.

One of the most common problems with statically linked DLLs is that the version of MFC they linked with assumed a latest-version of some other DLL, and when that DLL is not installed, either their program can't load, or if it does, it ends up with the wrong version of the other DLL and crashes or otherwise malfuctions. Common controls, Common Dialogs, and OLE are the most common points of mismatch. And there's nothing that can be done other than doing a proper install.
There are about a dozen versions of MFC42.DLL, and while most of them are backward compatible, you cannot link something with a modern MFC42.DLL and expect it to work with an older one. MFC is rarely the key problem; a new version of MFC42.LIB assumes contemporary versions of a lot of other DLLs, such as common controls, OLE, COM, etc. and therefore static linking has done nothing other than increase the DLL size but not solve any problems; and you cannot use such a DLL with any MFC executable anyway, so it doesn't do any good for distributing DLLs.

I'm not sure why static linking is usually the suggested solution to this problem
Static linking is not always desired, and in many instances impossible (eg MFC extension DLLs).
Properly deploying an application is (IMO) necessary.
It's documented... Deployment (C++)[^]

Can anyone tell me is it possible in Visual Studio to add an icon to system menu that would call a dialog box?
On the other hand I could set up a mnemonic that would work throughout the whole application to call a particular dialog box.
If anyone knows what i am talking about and knows of any way to help please answer.
Thanks
P.S this is for a college project i am doing and want to add in this extra function.

That wouldn't help, now that you have quoted it

Yes, it's possible.

Yes, you can do that, too.

That probably won't happen.

Take my advice. If it's for a programming class project, don't add anything more than the instructor wants. He doesn't have time to wade through extra crap, and is generally only interested in whether or not you understand the concept(s) contained within the assignment.

It has to be at a very high standard it's my third year project and i really would like to add this in. Can I have a mnemonic without having a menu bar? The mnemonic would call a dialog.
I could just create a button on every dialog linking to that dialog and change it to a bitmap or something but i'd prefer to do it the other way.

If you create an MFC application via ClassWizard (Ctrl+W), you can see how this is done with the About dialog.

Sure. Why would a project's end be a factor?

Sorry, I said that because i meant i couldn't restart to create the project differently. I suppose i want to know is it possible to set up a mnemonic that will operate throughout the project to call a particular dialog box???

Who said anything about restarting the project or creating it differently?

Yes. They are called accelerator keys (which are often times confused with mnemonics).

Ok great sorry for the confusion... So do you know how to use accelerator keys???
|
|
|

JennK wrote: So do you know how to use accelerator keys???
Yes. Search for LoadAccelerators() and TranslateAccelerator().
