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

[Luc-Eric Rousseau]

Perhaps you forgot to copy the .manifest file along with the .dll?
 
Manifest can be internal (linked in the DLL) or an external
<dllname>.manifest XML 
file. I do not use the precompiled package, but I see that it includes
the 
.manifest file.  It should be in the same directory as the openexr DLL
of 
the same name.

If you copied MSVCR80.dll anywhere in the your system for example
your path or Windows directory, delete them.  It must only 
be in the SxS directory and should only be installed with the dotNet 
framework installer.
