    MSVCP100.dll

    I'm having strong difficulties in getting a program I wrote with Visual C++ 10 to run on other computers

    I'm either getting an error(when running on a different machine) where it says MSVCR100.dll is missing, or if I put that dll in the folder it says "The procedure entry point "big complicated thing" could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR100.dll

    I know that the dll is one that's included in the runtime library of Visual C++, but even when I install that runtime library I get the same error.

    Is there a way I can remove the dependency on the dll by somehow making it compile with the build?

    Thanks, MJHamrick

    Sounds like you have the wrong dll file?
    Does it help if you install this?

    You don't have to download it. If you have Visual Studio 2010 installed the redistributable packages are located here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages

    The C++ redistributable is vcredist_x86/vcredist_x64 depending on whether you are using the 64-bit runtime or not.

    Also, I've had issues running debug builds on a non-development machine. I took a guess that the redistributable packages don't install the debug versions of the runtime libraries. This may or may not be true, I have no idea, but in my case the release build runs fine.

    [edit]
    Also you can statically link the runtime libraries by changing your project settings:

    Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library

    If you want to statically link the runtime, don't choose one of the DLL options.

    It's true that you don't, but it would at least rule out the possibility of bad binaries.
    Also, you are not allowed to redistribute debug binaries, so the installer does naturally not install them. You can't run debug builds on a machine that doesn't have VS installed.

    Thank god. I searched MSDN for verification, but sometimes I feel that I would get answers faster if I just pounded my face on my keyboard for a while. It amazes me that Google is better at searching MSDN than MSDN is.

    I did continue searching after reading your post and eventually found an MSDN article that explains the issue: Preparing a Test Machine To Run a Debug Executable It was conveniently nested under the "Deployment Examples" category.
