C++ Demos Compile, But Cannot Run

[tjs84]

I am using Visual C++ 2010 Express and I am trying to run some of the included C++ demos in the Ice 3.4.1 install. I was able to compile using nmake as instructed in the readme. But when I try to run them, I get a dialog prompt with an error saying,

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application.

So for debugging I tried to manually create my own VC++ 2010 project with the "latency" demo code. It includes the Ice directories, iceutild.lib and iced.lib. It compiles fine. But when I debug the executable, I get the same dialog prompt as above, with this output in the console:

icetest.exe': Loaded 'C:\tszumows\workspace\icetest\icetest\Debug\icete st.exe', Symbols loaded.
'icetest.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file
'icetest.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file
'icetest.exe': Loaded 'C:\Program Files\ZeroC\Ice-3.4.1\bin\iceutil34d.dll', Symbols loaded.
LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe C:\Program Files\ZeroC\Ice-3.4.1\bin\iceutil34d.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002
Debugger:: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load
The program '[3496] icetest.exe: Native' has exited with code -1072365566 (0xc0150002).

Just for completeness, I tried the same in Release mode (using iceutil.lib and ice.lib), and I get the same error, but a different debug console output (if I attempt to debug which it isn't built for)

Any ideas why this may be happening? It's my first time trying to run Ice in C++. I've been successful with Java in the past.

Hi Tom,

Your post fortunately includes enough information to spot the issue ... you need to adjust your PATH to use the DLLs in bin\vc100 instead of the DLLs in bin.

Ice34.dll, Ice34d.dll in the main bin directory were built with VS2008; you want to use the DLLs built with VS2010 in bin\vc100 (bin\vc100\x64 for 64 bit DLLs).

Best regards,
Bernard

Thank you! That fixed it!
