Fail to Load dll from C# -FileNotFoundException'

[Idit1111]

Hi,

I am running C# application with a MFC dll on VS2005. When I copy the .exe file and the dll to another computer I get the following errer (both installed with .NET 2.0):

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in FilesUpdateApplication.exe
Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'StrtData, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
where 'StrtData is my dll file.
When I installed the VS2055 on the computer, it worked just fine. Are there any specific dll's that the 2005 adds? is it something that it adds in the installation?

Please advice,
Thanks
Idit

If StrtData links to MFC DLLs (or even just the C-runtime DLL) then you need to install those as well, by running vcredist_x86.exe on the target machine.

You can eiter find that exe in your Visual Studio folder (in ...\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\) or you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en

Alternatively you can link statically to MFC and/or the CRT instead of linking to the DLLs.
