MATLAB: Do I get an error mentioning “ntstatus 0xc0150002” when deploying a driver application that calls a shared library created with the MATLAB Compiler 4.9 (R2008b) using a MSVC compiler

2008ideMATLAB Compiler

I am trying to deploy a driver application that calls a shared library on a machine that does not have MATLAB or the MSVC development environment installed but I get the following error:

 Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "c:\Temp\test.dll" contains errors.
 LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe C:\Temp\test.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002
 Unloaded "test.dll" at address 0x02EE0000.

Side-by-Side errors are usually caused by the MSVC Runtime Libraries being missing on the deployment machine. If you installed the MSVC Runtime Libraries, a possible cause for this error message is that you are distributing the debug version of your driver application.

The debug version of the MSVC Runtime Libraries is only included by the MSVC development environment. To work around this issue, make sure you distribute the "Release" version of your driver application and make sure that the MSVC Runtime Libraries are installed.

MATLAB: Do I get the error “The specified module could not be found (126)” when running a compiled stand-alone that uses LOADLIBRARY to load a shared DLL that has been compiled using MSVC++ 2005

Copying the missing file msvcr80.dll to the application's folder does not work because the Microsoft Visual C/C++ Runtime files require Side-by-Side deployment.

Running a compiled stand-alone that loads a shared DLL that has been compiled with MSVC++ 2005 requires a manifest file for the executable, in order for the operating system to load the C/C++ runtime libraries correctly.

To work around this issue, create a file with the same name as your executable and the additional extension ".manifest". For example if your executable is called "MyTest.exe", create a new empty file called "MyTest.exe.manifest" in the same folder that contains the executable. Now open the file with a text editor and enter the following XML code in it:

 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
 <assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
   <dependency>
     <dependentAssembly>
       <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version='8.0.50727.762' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
     </dependentAssembly>
   </dependency>
 </assembly>

Running the stand-alone application should now work correctly.

MATLAB: Error using loadlibrary; side-by-side configuration is incorrect

It looks like that third-party DLL may be missing some dependencies. What about if you try with the sxstrace.exe tool - does it tell you anything about missing library dependencies? Perhaps the paths to some dependencies are not on the System PATH?
