| Description: |
I built and installed Tcl 8.4.16 on Windows XP SP3: nmake /f makefile.vc nmake /f makefile.vc install which installed Tcl in C:\Program Files\Tcl as expected. When I tried to run tclsh84.exe, I got the error, Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Tcl\bin\tclsh84.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. This is apparently because the manifest was missing. Please update the install target in makefile.vc to copy tclsh84.exe.manifest to C:\Program Files\Tcl\bin\. Perhaps tclreg11.dll.manifest should be copied too, but I am not enough of a Windows expert to know for sure. Workaround: After installing, copy <tclBuildLocation>\tcl8.4.16\win\Release\tclsh84.exe.manifest to the C:\Program Files\Tcl\bin\ folder. | |||

Manifests are indeed built into the executable and/or the dll. Starting with Windows 8.1 this is even more strict, Tcl is recently enhanced to do that correctly. Therefore, It surely works correctly now. See: [651e828a52] dkf added on 2010-08-07 03:19:43: Seems weird to me; shouldn't the manifest be built into the binary itself instead of being installed separately? (For reference, I've *never* had to install a manifest separately when installing a Windows program.) Assigning to someone who knows more about Win builds that the auto-assign, and it may just be a problem with the build process... | |||
