Hi,

I installed Prof-uis on my new vista machine last night, and set it off compiling the source whilst I slept. On checking the installation today, I found a large number of error in the build.

fatal error C1083: Cannot open type library file: ’msxml.dll’: No such file or directory

On doing a little research into the matter, I’ve discovered this file is no longer supplied with a vista install.

This link discusses the issue

Any suggestions on the best way of fixing this issue?

Convert over to msxml6.dll or register the missing file and have the associated issues with vista and regsvr32

Cheers

Glen.

The solution suggested in the article is:

#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0600)
#import \"msxml6.dll\"
#else
#import \"msxml.dll\"
#endif

This solution is not good for Prof-UIS. We support all the Windows versions starting from 95/NT4 and WIN32_WINNT in Prof-UIS projects is defined as 0x0400. So, please put the msxml.dll file from the ZIP file attached here into the ./Prof-UIS/Bin_XXX folder which corresponds to the Visual Studio version you are using and then build Prof-UIS.

Xmm... Its are legal to include in my commercial deployment package, Microsoft XML core library – msxml.dll?

You need msxml.dll only at compile time. When your application runs on Windows Vista, the newer version of MS XML COM objects will be used automatically.
