RE: mkoctfile MSVC 2008 Express (Need Help)

[Huaizu You]

Hi, Tatsuro & Michael,

Thanks for your efforts trying to fix the problem. I would like to help, 
unfortunately, I'm not a power Windows user, either. My solution is using 
MATLAB compiler, mcc, instead of mkoctfile. However, in this way, the user 
needs to buy MATLAB rather than using free software. Hope Octave project would 
continue and prosperous.

Sincerely,
Huaizu

Hello
Michael> You can try the approach I explained in another mail to generate the
Michael> right manifest file. But frankly speaking, I doubt it'll work...

In the previous mail, I wrote the following.
It did not work.  As I wrote, my windows is not in good condition.
Therefore I need help from those who have already installed VC++ Express 2008.

Regards

Tatsuro

Hello

I have been left from the University and I cannot test the below.
This is because I did not install MSVC2008.

Now I am in lunch time at the university.

I have tested the below.

> 5) restart octave
At the restar, I met troubles.
First time, the system tell me that msvcp80.dll was not found.
At the restart an application error occured.
So I add the path to the ....\bin\Microsoft.VC80.CRT

After that I retry it
This time system told
"Application cannot be intiarized correctly (0x80000003). Finish the 
application to press [OK]."

Mmmmm, unfortunately it is not successful.
However, my windows is not in good condition so I cannot assert that the way 
suggest by Michael
does not work.

*************************************************
Are there anyone who would like to try to do it?
*************************************************


Anyway I personally am not the MSVC-octave user. (I usually use octave on 
cygwin. )
I do not want to purchase it any longer and will delete the descriptions about 
MSVC2008 in
my web if noone try this matter.

Regarads

Tatsuro.
