Hi again J.Merrill,
When I execute recompiled neko.exe in a command prompt (cmd.exe) it
simply says:
"The system cannot execute the specified program." (not quite verbose IMHO)
Now, if I go to the event viewer, the error details are:
Error, Event ID: 32
Description: Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT could not be found
and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.
Error, Event ID: 59
Description: Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC90.CRT.
Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on
your system.
.
So I think it does not work with simply copying the required DLLs in the
same folder as the neko.exe (as in .NET, where this approach works). I
also tried with Dependency Walker (a Visual Studio tool) to copy all the
required DLLs:
- msvcm90.dll
- msvcp90.dll
- msvcr90.dll
So, I am afraid that I am back with the original problem... trying to
recompile neko.exe with MSVCRT 6.0.
Thanks for your help :-)

What's the "cannot start" symptom that you see? You might be able to
use Process Monitor (from the same source as Process Explorer) to
determine that -- just as a possible example -- the version of MSVCRT
that you put into your directory requires a matching ABCD.DLL that
you'd also have to include in your directory, because it doesn't come
with XP SP3.
Process Monitor is not super-easy to use. If it's Neko.exe that can't
start, set a Process Name filter to specify that, and don't leave it
turned on for very long. (Turn it on, try running neko.exe, then turn
it off and look at the accumulated info.)

Hi again,
I tried that you said (putting DLLs in the same folder that recompiled
Neko is), but I ended with a Neko.exe that can not start in a Windows
XP SP3 clean environment (no .NET installed). So I think I will have
to try the MSVCRT 6.0 route again...
Any hint/help about that? Many thanks!

IIRC, you're delivering your software on a CD. You should be able to
include any version of MSVCRT that you want on the CD in the same
directory as your other executables, and that's what will be used when
the code runs.
I hope that info is useful to you. (You might want to download
Process Explorer from sysinternals.com. It will let you see what DLLs
a process has loaded -- to confirm that the DLL you're delivering is
the one that the process is loading.)

Hi Nicolas,
That is the problem, I need to target MSVCRT 6.0 because my app should
not require users to install anything (I think that Windows XP shipped
with that DLL).
By the way, will I need to recompile also the Neko libraries? I though
that I will be able to use their precompiled binaries (I though I only
needed to comment the GC_use_DllMain() line in alloc.c).
Can some of you already able to compile Neko for Windows please compile
a Neko binary with this small change (using MSVCRT 6.0)? Many thanks.
Regards
