Entry Point Not Found when running

Question

Hi

I'm trying to run a test application that uses the JSON parser, but on runtime, right on the start, I'm getting the following popup:

"The procedure entry point ?_Init@locale@std@@CAPAV_Locimp@12@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCP110.dll"


I'm using VS2012 and I have tried debug and release builds, and i also checked that the dll is in the right place and it is.  using dependency walker i see that this method is indeed missing from the dll.

help anyone?

Thanks

Hi,

It is known issue with VS2012 RTM. Please see this thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/casablanca/thread/41b94707-2153-497e-b338-a7cd36ad8360

It will be fixed in the next update: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/casablanca/thread/eb8bbb0e-a205-40ba-b0da-d18675d29289

The links on the site have now been updated to point to the new, refreshed, bits. To verify that you are not getting something from a file cache, you can verify the date of the digital signature of the MSIs. It should be stamped Saturday, September 22.

The DevLabs site will continue to refer to Windows 8 Release Preview and VS 2012 RC for a little while -- please disregard this and note instead that this refresh requires the final, release versions of both Windows 8 (for App Store development) and Visual Studio.

The links to the MSIs for Visual Studio 2012 Express are not yet available, but will be when we update the DevLabs site later today. At that time, we will post a note here and also on the VC++ blog.

Thanks,

EDIT: I noticed now that you wrote it requires Win8 :(   I was not thinking on upgrading so soon. Also... Is there any Win upgrade version available? or I'll have to use it in a VM??

Great news Niklas!

I have one issue though. 

When creating a new project (VS2012 + Win7 pro x86) I see a modal dialog, but I'm not able to choose anything... The project gets created as web role (apparently).

Also, a bit frustrating that I can only run in Win64 :(  I was trying to run it in a laptop with Win7, and... 

I'm looking forward to start using Casablanca, but until now... no luck.

Fernando,

You only need Windows 8 if you want to build applications using the new UI style (App Store apps). Windows 7 should work just fine.

Can you try running VS as an administrator and let me know what happens?

Thanks,

Niklas

Answer 5

Thanks for the reply. 

The behaviour is the same running as Administrator. Modal is not responsive, in backgound the project is been generated, modal closes and see one project created.

BTW: Azure SDK for vs2012 after Installed VS2012 Premium (RTMREL) with C++libs and Web Dev. without silverlight, etc.  Is there any dependency on those?

Hmm, this seems like a bug that we haven't seen elsewhere.

Can you tell us more about what you have installed? When you installed the Azure SDK for .NET, did you install the IIS Recommended Configuration?

I'm grasping at straws here, but we haven't seen your problem internally (except on Visual Studio Express for Desktop, but the symptoms were different). Can you upload a screen shot of what the solution explorer looks like after the dialog closes?

Answer 8

EDIT: My BAD! Aparently Azure SDK was not installed! The Webinstaller probably didn't finalize...

After reinstalling Azure SDK, everything looks Ok :)

May I suggest that Casablanca checks for pre-requisites during installation OR fails/warns user if project was not fully created ;)

Anyhow - Thank you for your support - now... The party begins - converting my project to use Casablanca!!! :D

Cheers

Fernando

Hi Niklas

Not 100% sure, but I don't recall changing anything during setup. I'll review the Azure SDK .Net installation (will uninstall and install again). I'm also installing in another PC. My VS2012 has the following components:

Answer 9

That's great!

I'm so glad that it wasn't anything serious. Get used to running VS as Administrator, though -- it's going to be necessary for now.

Answer 10

By the way, checking for pre-reqs is something that we'll do properly in the actual release. Then, we will rely on Web Platform Installer to get all the pieces in place and you won't have a chance to miss any of the stuff you need from the Azure SDK. Until then, you just need to (meticulously) follow the instructions in the documentation.

Thank you Niklas. 

It's amazing already what you guys delivered and are currently doing for the Modern C++11 development community. You guys are the best!
