Hi Ariel,
I have resolved the issue with MSVCR80.dll with my project. Earlier the
problem was that the vcvars32.bat script could not run successfully and
complained about not able to locate the COMMON\Tools folder. For this I had to
work on the environment settings and now there are no errors while setting the
VS environment. However I noticed that I still can't build with VS2012. I will
give the error below my mail. This is not so critical for me now that I could
get this working with VS2010. Also It works on friends PC with VS2012. I could
compile the external dll using a Makefile with VS2010. I could then use it in a
VS2012 test project. As you said, I am still working with the sample code
available on the net and can share it, so that it benefits new comers like me.
Could you suggest any suitable forum where I can post the code sample.
Thanks everyone for the response and encouragement.
Regards,
Mangesh

I only build with the VS2008 and it works fine. If you are distributing your
binaries, you'll have to include the redistributable. And if you are planning
to build your application for all supported platforms, I'd suggest you use the
SDK build environment (it will save you a lot of time, the Cmake approach
suggested on other mail will require that you create a Cmake module to find the
OpenOffice/SDK installation).
As a general suggestion, don't start with an IDE project, simply try to get a
working Makefile with the SDK environment and make sure it builds fine in all
supported platforms. It would also be easier to provide advice if you can
upload the source code somewhere (IIUC you are simply playing with an SDK
example, so there would no problem in showing the code).
