C# FGDB API crashing on some systems running ArcGIS 9.3.1

ArtUllman — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:48:20 GMT

I am having a problem deploying the C# FGDB API to 'some' systems. I have copied ESRI.FileGDBAIP.dll, FILEGDBAPI.dll and FileGDBAPID.dll to the same directory as the executable. All systems are running the same version of the .Net Framework - v4.0.30319. I put a try/catch around the geodatabase open, but it still crashes immediately on execution. This is a 20 line program that tries to read a table from an FGDB. I am seeing the error on systems running older versions of ArcGIS - specifically 9.3.1. I am not seeing the error on systems running ArcGIS 10. My understanding is that the API should be independant of any ArcGIS install. Is this correct or is there a dependancy on ArcGIS Desktop libraries? Are there any additional installs besides dropping the DLLs into the directory with the executable? It is a simple WPF app.

Here is the event:

The API is not dependent on any of the ArcGIS libraries. You do need to have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Run-time installed. Also be aware that the API can only open 10.0 file geodatabases.

Thanks. That explains it. I ran a dependancy walker on the API DLLs and found that I was missing the Visual C++ Run in my deployment. I added msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll to my deployment directory, and everything worked after that. Thank you all of your help.
