Re: [Openexr-devel] using the openexr C callable interface on Windows

[Marc-Antoine Desroches]

Thanks for the quick answer.

I already have the vc8 runtimes installed (I also installed the package 
you linked to, just in case).
At first, if I try to open the dll I get a message saying that it can't 
find msvcr80.dll. If I copy the ms runtime dlls in the same directory as 
the openexr dlls I get the R6040 error.
Maybe this is happening because the manifest is not embeded inside the 
dll and/or the application loading it (of course it would be difficult 
to embed it in my scheme interpreter).

I am not very familiar with the way Windows works with "side by side 
assemblies". I think I could make a small dll with an embeded manifest 
that dynamically loads IlmImg_dll but that would mean more (and uglier) 
code.
