Updating vc6 code to vs2005 - missing two DLLs.

Question

I have compiled and built my VC6 application code in vs2005, but while running I am getting an error saying could not load the DLL. Once I check this with dependency walker I found that ieshims.dll and wer.dll are missing. I searched for those dll's but I could not fine them.

How do I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

This is likely a manifest dependency error. If the computer you're trying to run your application on does not have Visual Studio installed, you must have the redistributable runtime installed for the CRT.

Next time, paste the full error.
