I have a project that is not locating msvcr80d.dll and another identical project (.vcproj identical) apart from the ProjectGUID attribute that DOES find msvcr80d.dll in the SxS directory. I use depends.exe to load the executable and see the error. Both exe files are in the same directory. The one that works lists the location of the dll as being in the WinSxS directory structure.
Appended is the project file that does not work.
The one that does work only differs by these lines:
Name="rob_run"
ProjectGUID="{9FBE5580-6B63-43DF-8544-73C04FC8A844}"
RootNamespace="rob_run"
Does anybody know how the GUID can effect this behaviour
The project is a simple Windows application that starts off as an empty project. But every setting seems moot when the 2 projects are identical apart from GUID.
