  • 0

My program is written in C# NET 2.0,it’s using external functions from a dll written in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1. If I remove the dll from the directory the program is placed,the program crashes at the moment it should use the dll.That’s normal.

But the users that are using my program get the same error at the same place without moving the dll.They all have C++ Redistributable 2008 from >here<

Does it happen because I made the program in .NET 2.0 instead of NET 3.5 or it happens ,because the redistributable should be an older version?

Edit:Note for me,the program runs fine.

  1. Its most likely the wrong runtime. Make sure you are distributing the correct one. These will always work on your dev box because the runtimes are in the path. For testing software, I use a windows xp virtual machine. I set up the virtual machine as a completely fresh install, install the components I know that I need (.NET framework, etc.), then run my installer. You will run into a surprising number of setup issues doing this.
