Yep, thanks will know this.

sorry for the confusion. I ran dependency walker on QuantLibObject xll-s.

I did everything with VS2005, but plan to try again with VS2008.

am I missing something - can I compile QuantLibXL without compiling
QuantLib, genXXX and QuantLibObject?

To be honest, I would like to give something back.

As soon as I get QuantLib up and running, I plan to come back and to see
whether I can do something.

Thanks for the clarifications with the vcredist.

I got into all those details out of despair - all compilations were clean
but QuantLib xll was not opening.

I have not tried anything again as I am still waiting for my VS2008 license.

I will update when I try again.

thanks you very much for your help.

many thanks,

Slava
