File Geodatabase API 1.4(VS2013) dependecy on CRT v9(VS 2008)

[SalaheddinAl-Ajlouni]

The C++ Geodatabse API 1.4 VS2013 has a dependency on VS 2008. If you open up "bin\FileGDBAPI.dll" in text editor and search for the manifest you will find the below, relying on CRT version 9 (VS 2008).  The same for the 64bits

<assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>  
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">  
    <security>  
      <requestedPrivileges>  
        <requestedExecutionLevel level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false' />  
      </requestedPrivileges>  
    </security>  
  </trustInfo>  
  <dependency>  
    <dependentAssembly>  
      <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC90.CRT' version='9.0.21022.8' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />  
    </dependentAssembly>  
  </dependency>  
</assembly>

Believe Lance Shipman​  answered this for prior builds, and expect the CRT(s) are still going to be required.

FileGDBAPI.dll Microsoft.VC90.CRT dependency

Hi V,

I have read the answer you are referring to. In the README-windows_VS2013.txt there is NO mentioning of the CRTV90.

I think, it is always better to have the CRT version same as the one used for the build.

Thanks,

Salah.
