[gdal-dev] GDAL 1.6.0 DLL Hell problem on Windows Vista?

[Clay, Bruce]

Frank:
  I am trying to run ogrinfo from the GDAL build app directory.  I did
not have a problem with this until my computer died and I had to get a
new one with you guessed it Vista.  It is a 64 bit system running 64 bit
Vista so that may be part of the problem.  

Did you build with the manifest as part of the build process or just add
it to the runtime directory?

Did you build the whole package with VS 2008 nor just the GEOS portion?

I have run into other problems on this computer mainly with drivers.  My
Microsoft finger print reader is not supported on 64 bit.  It makes me
wonder just what MS is thing some times, actually most of the time.
They keep changing things that don't help at all.

Bruce,

I'm not sure what issue(s) you are running into exactly.  Is this just
running something like gdalinfo that you build against the GDAL16.DLL
that you built?

The only "special" thing I do for the GEOS part of the build which I
build with visual studio 9 (aka 2008 express I think) was to ensure
I distributed the msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll along with the
corresponding
Microsoft.VC90.CRS.manifest.

I think that Visual Studio 2005 is VC8, so there should be a
corresponding
msvc{r,p}80.dll you would need with it, and perhaps a corresponding
manifest.  I haven't been using VS2005 much though so I'm not so sure.

These issues (needing a manifest) don't exist with older visual studio
versions.

Best regards,
