failed to load serial validation dll on test machine

Hi all,

I've built a win32 c dll for validating serial numbers in the installation process, and it works fine on my machine. However when I run it on other machine without visual c++ installed, it gives "failed to load dll" message in the installation process as soon as UseDLL is called. Do you know what causes this? I added msvcr90.dll to the support files as well since the serial.dll uses it, but it still doesn't work.

thanks in advance.

Depending on how your DLL was built, you may need more than msvcr90.dll.

Try running Dependency Walker on your DLL with the other machine to see if any other dependencies are missing.
