[Insight-users] Re: volview plugin DLL post-build error (clarification)

[Karthik Krishnan]

Rex:

If you are moving the plugins onto another machine, please ensure that you
include the C runtime libraries.

They depend on the compiler that you use. For instance with MSVC 71 (or
visual studio 2003), it is :  msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll (or msvcrtd.dll if
you built in Debug mode).

You can find them somewhere in c:\Program Files\Visual Studio.. Your plugins
will depend on these libraries, so please make sure they are present on the
target machine. You should drop these libraries into the VolView folder.

If this doesn't work, please use DependencyWalker to check the runtime
libraries that your plugins depend on.  "http://www.dependencywalker.com/"

Thanks
