Re: [Amelia-development] Notes on Redist Windows Binaries

[Joao P. <jpp...@lb...>]

Karol,

I distributed many windows binaries in the past and therefore know about 
the need to include the VC redistributable dlls. I did that yesterday, 
with no success (including, of course, the manifest files). I also used 
dependencywalker yesterday and found that apart from the "usual 
suspects" (i.e, QT related dlls, in our case QtCore4, QtGui4, QtXml4 and 
QtWebKit4) we also need msjava.dll (because the webpages in the monitors 
run javascripts. If the user doesn't have the Java runtimes installed on 
the system, this should do it).

Today I tried to add the debug dlls as well, and even put in the 
distribution folder the whole set of Qt dll files. To no good...
Mind you, it runs very very well in my machines where the development 
environment is installed. But if you try on some "virgin" computer (I 
have a couple here to test) it just won't work.

This is the last obstacle now before a binary release.


Cheers,

Joao
