Gpsvc.dll

Hi
I try an SDL/C++/openGL dll and get a dependency to gpsvc.dll.
How comes, can I get rid of this? I have only the 64bit Vista but
it even wants the 32bit gpsvd.dll and my app. should also be working
on mac/linux.
Thanks Michael

  1. After a quick bit of googling, this seems to be Visual Studio in Vista64 specific. The only way to get rid of it would be to use something other than Visual C++. You may need administrator permissions before gpsvc.dll can be seen.

  2. If it’s a 32Bit program it will look for 32Bit DLLs because it can’t use 64Bit DLLs. This is not an error, it’s a technical limitation.

Of course, if it’s a 64Bit program I don’t know what’s going on there but at the moment the vast majority of software is still 32Bit and will in fact perform less well if 64Bit, especially games (those SSE registers and the memory bus are still only 128Bits wide)> From: Michael
