c++ - Why installing vcredist_x86.exe doesn't fix SideBySide error when I develop an EXE on one machine and run it on another one? -

issue

i wrote c++ project called 'foo' using microsoft visual studio 2005 verison 8.0.50727.762 (sp.050727-7600) on windows xp professional version 2002 service pack 3. built project foo.exe. then, copied file foo.exe windows server 2003 enterprise edition service pack 2. when tried run it, failed error,

c:\foo.exe application has failed start because application configuration incorrect. reinstalling application may prepare problem.

in event viewer > system, 3 events logged.

event id: 32; source: sidebyside

dependent assembly microsoft.vc80.crt not found , lastly error referenced assembly not installed on system.

event id: 59; source: sidebyside

installing microsoft visual c++ 2005 redistributable didn't prepare it

downloaded vcredist_x86.exe http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3387 installed it. installer created folder called c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd.

the version of software found 'add or remove programs' '8.0.50727.42'.

on trying run c:\foo\foo.exe, got same errors described above.

installing microsoft visual c++ 2005 sp1 redistributable didn't prepare it

downloaded vcredist_x86.exe http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5638 installed it. installer created folder called: c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700.

the version of software found 'add or remove programs' '8.0.56336'.

on trying run c:\foo\foo.exe, got same errors described above.

copying crt dlls , manifest same machine (where i'm running exe) didn't prepare it.

i copied msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll , msvcr80.dll c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd c:\foo. next, copied c:\windows\winsxs\manifests\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd.manifest c:\foo , renamed microsoft.vc80.crt.manifest.

the 4th line of manifest file looked this:

<assemblyidentity type="win32" name="microsoft.vc80.crt" version="8.0.50727.42" processorarchitecture="x86" publickeytoken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyidentity>

when tried running c:\foo\foo.exe time, didn't work. repeated thing 1 time again dlls in c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700 , corresponding manifest file. didn't help well. got same error.

in both cases, got next errors in event viewer > system.

event id: 34; source: sidebyside

component identity found in manifest not match identity of component requested

event id: 58; source: sidebyside

syntax error in manifest or policy file "c:\foo\microsoft.vc80.crt.manifest" on line 4.

event id: 59; source: sidebyside

generate activation context failed c:\foo\foo.exe. reference error message: manifest file contains 1 or more syntax errors.

copying crt dlls , manifest windows xp machine (where built exe) didn't prepare it.

i copied msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll , msvcr80.dll c:\winnt\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700 of windows xp machine (where developed , built foo.exe) c:\foo of windows server 2003 (where trying run foo.exe). next, copied c:\winnt\winsxs\manifests\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700.manifest c:\foo , renamed microsoft.vc80.crt.manifest.

the 4th line of manifest file looked this:

<assemblyidentity type="win32" name="microsoft.vc80.crt" version="8.0.50727.762" processorarchitecture="x86" publickeytoken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyidentity>

on trying run c:\foo\foo.exe got same errors mentioned in previous section.

copying crt dlls , manifest visual studio folder fixed it.

copied msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll , microsoft.vc80.crt.manifest c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\redist\x86\microsoft.vc80.crt of windows xp machine (where developed , built foo.exe) c:\foo of windows server 2003 machine (where trying run it).

the 4th line of manifest file looked this:

<assemblyidentity type="win32" name="microsoft.vc80.crt" version="8.0.50727.6195" processorarchitecture="x86" publickeytoken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyidentity>

this time run c:\foo\foo.exe without issues.

question

i expecting installing 'microsoft visual c++ 2005 sp1 redistributable' (vcredist_x86.exe) described in sec approach prepare it. didn't. copying dlls , manifest files c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\redist\x86\microsoft.vc80.crt folder of development machine fixed it. why so?

build options

in case, helps reply question. here compiler , linker options picked visual studio project properties:

configuration properties > c/c++ > command line:

/o2 /gl /d "_mbcs" /fd /ehsc /md /fo"release\\" /fd"release\vc80.pdb" /w3 /nologo /c /wp64 /zi /tp /errorreport:prompt

configuration properties > linker > command line:

/out:"c:\mixedbag\release\foo.exe" /nologo /manifest /manifestfile:"release\foo.exe.intermediate.manifest" /debug /pdb:"c:\mixedbag\release\foo.pdb" /opt:ref /opt:icf /ltcg /machine:x86 /errorreport:prompt kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

i'll reply own question. comments question hans passant , luke helped.

i downloaded microsoft visual c++ 2005 service pack 1 redistributable bundle mfc security update , installed on scheme trying run c:\foo\foo.exe. exe ran fine after this.

the installer placed crt dlls in c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_x-ww_44262b86. so, yes, 8.0.50727.6195 version of crt dlls looking hans passant rightly said.

the easiest way figure version looking @ manifest file generated visual studio while building project on development system. mine located @ c:\foo\release\foo.exe.intermediate.manifest. had tag this:

<assemblyidentity type='win32' name='microsoft.vc80.crt' version='8.0.50727.6195' processorarchitecture='x86' publickeytoken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />

so, clue needed 8.0.50727.6195 version of dlls. rest matter of searching right vcredist_x86.exe happened in url have mentioned in sec paragraph. page in url contains link kb2538242 shows version numbers of dlls installed installer.

note: elie has mentioned in a different answer question, since 32-bit application, necessary install vcredist_x86.exe (not vcredist_x64.exe) on scheme application supposed run irrespective of whether scheme 32-bit windows scheme or 64-bit windows system. 1 time again, .manifest file provides clue in processorarchitecture attribute.

How do I check if an insert was successful with MySQLdb in Python? - i have code: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(("insert new_files (videos_id, filename, " "is_processing) values (%s,%s,1)"), (id, filename)) logging.warn("%d", cursor.rowcount) if (cursor.rowcount == 1): logging.info("inserted values %d, %s", id, filename) else: logging.warn("failed insert values %d, %s", id, filename) cursor.close() fun is, cursor.rowcount always one, though updated database create videos_id unique key. is, insert fails because in tests same videos_id going appear (and when check database, nil inserted). whatever reason, rowcount 1 - logging.warn have spits out rowcount of 1. so, question: can utilize rowcount work out if insert went fine? if so, (presumably) doing wrong? otherwise, how check if insert went fine? your code not commit after modifications (your modifications rolled back). should...
