Guest folderann Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Running Vista Business 64. I have a small small MFC app that I wrote in VC++ 2003. Any time I port it to a new XP install, I have to copy various Microsoft DLLs to windows\System32 in order to get the application to run. No worries - it runs. After the Vista 64 install I got the usual error message and copied the file to system32. After I continued to get the same "need mfc71" message, I copied the file into the folder where the application resides and the app ran correctly without the error. Since I have a bunch of these apps, I wonder if I can work around this problem without having to place the same files locally where the app resides. I tried to register the DLL but I got an error message - but I'm not sure this would make any difference since the app ran with the dlls in the local directory. Thanks in advance for any advice.
