I am Using DriveinfoEx.dll(link[^]). I am using win7 with VS2010 installed for development. I used this DriveInfoEx dll on my project to retrieve HDD serial and its working good on my development machine. I have to run myProject on other machine, which has winXp-32bit with .NET2.0 and vcredist_2010.

Then I ran dependency walker on target machine and load the DirectInfoEx dll and MsJava.dll were missing I copied MSjava.dll on System32 and missing msjava error were resolved. Now I am getting these lines on target machine:

Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "C:\UIHost\DRIVEINFOEX.DLL" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001). Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

what does that mean?

Solution 2

Copying it to the system32 folder is somewhat risky because that could override the file version for other applications as well. Try to add it to the folder of the application itself so it is in the same folder as the assembly depending on that.

Here you got some general info on this:

Good luck!

ok so i removed the msjava from systemfolder and copied to project folder and msjava not found error resolved =]
but still i can't figure out the problem what is missing anything else came on your mind which is not letting dll to not work ?

The problem is that there was already a registered version in the c:\UIHost and you placed another in the system32 folder. The files in system32 are automatically used and because the application does not specify specific information about which version to use (using a manifest) the system isn't sure which version to select and gives an error.
