    XP API Applications under NT 4 systems

    Tried to test my app.exe program on an NT 4 PC and wouldn't run. Says Link library MSVCRSO.dll [EDIT: MSVCR50.dll] missing... Do i have to develop under NT to write NT compatible Applications? Googled for this dll couldn't find its relevance. And even if i fix this one, there may be more which are not showing yet...

    No, it simply means you do not have the correct libraries installed on the target machine. Download them and put them in the windows\system(32) directory. But 50? What are you developing in, the stone age? Visual C++ 5 is horribly outdated. Can't you upgrade to a newer version?

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.

    What does '50' mean... Well, the NT machine is pretty old... My Dev Machine is XP SP2 usng VS2005... Interesting that tha DLL it's looking for is not on my XP Machine, or does it need it's own NT compatible dll to run the code?

    If you are using 2005, then it shouldn't need the MSVCR50.dll at all.
    What you need is to install Visual Studio 2005's runtime on the target machine.
    I'm not sure exactly where you get hold of it. I only have the 2008 around runtime myself.

    Although, if you have Standard+, you can create an installer which should install the runtime.
