Hi all! When I compile the program in visual studio 2005 under xp the program
starts without any problem. When I do tha same steps under Windows Vista I get
the same error noticed by the other user that is:
…Unable to start program 'file name’
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is
incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors…
I found a workaround but it is very annoying. I mean, if I compile from the
command prompt using cl.exe and using only text files without manifest
components it works. Now I would know if there is a permanent solution to
compile directly from the visual studio 2005 editor. I think the problem is in
some settings put automatically by the editor. Has anyone the solution?
Thanks in advance.

I get the same error, but it happens for me in XP (I haven’t tried Vista
yet).

Can you send me a link to a zip of your project? I’ve seen this reported
frequently and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on.
Thanks!

The problem is older versions of Visual Studio 2005 express and the platform SDK
don’t work with SDL 1.2.12. Once I upgraded them, the directions you posted on
the mailing list worked like a charm.
Hi Guys
i am assuming that your talking about your programs not working and
not SDL not working. if so, i use VS 2005 and its all good, so here are my
commandflags obviously this path “F:\Programming
Projects\Games\Lines\Lines” and i have taken out the include path , as well
as the output path.
When i final build my games, i build to release, and then i have to copy the
game from release to its parent Dir to run, but try going through
the project properties and setting the flags listed below.

This is probably necessary for the system to find the SDL DLLs. There are
other ways that depend also a bit on the MS-Windows flavour. Look up the docs
for LoadLibrary() at http://msdn.microsoft.com. This is not specific to SDL
though.

Apart from the SDL, Vorbis and all that the only other DLL i use is
msvcr80.dll, so i put this in the final game root Dir and there
appears to be in problems even on Vista, without having to call any
functions to directly load libraries.

I think it’s better I send the project by email because I have some problems to
start the ftp service here and at the moment I don’t own any website. Is the
email specified in your posting header ok for sending the compressed file?

Somebody mentioned this was fixed by applying Visual Studio Service Pack 1.
See ya!

“Somebody mentioned this was fixed by applying Visual Studio Service Pack 1.”
Yes, but No, as when i distribute the final game the last thing i want
is the end user to have to download more libraries and or even
anything else other than my game.

I could never get rid of the DLL dependency MSVS creates for a
project. So I do all my testing using Visual Studio because it has an
awesome debugger, however, for building the final (or the version I
intend to share with others) I use MingW for Windows. It’s easy to
set up and creates a very reasonably-sized executable which will
run on other machines no matter what version of Windows as far
as I know.

No, the developer needs to install Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio, not the
end user.
