Re: Installing Crypt Blowfish module

Hi Rachna,

Curious ... adding the perl.exe.manifest enabled MSVCR80.dll to be found .... and it fixed up the problem with the missing procedure entry point.

Anyone care to elaborate on precisely *how* the .manifest file fixed those specific problems ? (It's got me beat.)

Cheers,
Rob

It seems Visual C++ 2005 uses a new deployment model for windows apps. It uses the manifest file to find the C Runtime libraries. The CRT libraries were installed under C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.* when I installed the free version of Visual C++. The directory name has the Processor Architecture, publicKeyToken, version number. Also, the manifest doesnt seem to mind as long as the version number matches till 8.0.50 Here is the link to the msdn article which has details.	[reply]
