Phil,
Thanks for the suggestion. I suspect it will work. My XP SP3 machine has
VC90 entries in C:\Windows\WinSxS, while my Vista SP1 machine does not.
But if GDAL requires the user to install the VC++ redistributable first, why
is GDAL redisting the DLLs (e.g. msvcr90.dll) in the GDAL\bin directory? I
suspect the intent was to override sxs in the build process, or specify a
publisher policy, or something, so that the user does not have to install
the redistributable themselves. The idea being that GDAL would work like
old-school, pre-sxs applications, where you just have to have the right DLL
versions in the same directory as your .exe.
Was that not the intent? Are users indeed expected to install that
redistributable first?
Jason,
My fault. The package includes the required VC9 DLLs, but I neglected
to include the manifest for them (Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest). I
have repackaged the kit with that manifest, and I'd appreciate your testing
it.
