[Chromium-users] Solution: Chromium on Windows: MSVCR80D.dll file not found

[David L. P. <pa...@gm...>]

I have finally solved the issue with using Chromium on MSVC8 (at least with
my platform). The main problem seems to be with manifests and dlls. I am not
fully familiar with Microsoft manifests, but it seems that when the app
faker trys to spawn a process, not all dlls are found (i.e. atlantis.exe is
unable to link with MSVCR80D.dll).

The solution that I have found to work is to embedded the manifest
information into the atlantis.exe (or any opengl app that app faker spawns).
Here's the DOS command line that I used for atlantis.exe.

C:\cr-1.0\bin\WIN_NT>mt.exe -manifest atlantis.exe.manifest
-outputresource:atlantis.exe;1

The following MSDN link is probably more useful:

I'm not sure how to force embedding manifests during compile/link, but it
would seem to be the obvious next step.
