Is it because of the VC 8 compiler involvement ?
Yes. The VC8 compiled code links against MSVCR80.dll, and you'll need to embed an assembly binding manifest into your DLL to make sure it can load this library at runtime. > b) What to do about it ? Do I need to build libxml2 and libiconv for myself > using the Platform SDK compiler ? Either that, or you could embed the manifest manually into your Common.dll using the mt.exe tool.
