linkinfo.dll on Windows 2008? "Anthony LaMark" <tony.lamark[ at ]quest.com> 11/7/2008 9:16:04 PM Hi All, I am doing a 64bit release build (on a 32bit system...which I have successfully done in the past so I know it works) of a COM dll (C++) using VS2005 (see details below). I also build an installation program (msi). When I run the msi on a Windows 2008 server and it goes to register the dll, it fails. Using depends, I can see it is missing linkinfo.dll. When I searched on this dll, all the hits I got are around viruses. Does anyone know what this dll is for and why my dll is loading it? I am going to try to see if delay-loading it gets me past the COM registration but would like to know what this dll is all about (and if there is something special about windows 2008...I will test on a 64bit Windows2003 shortly to see if I have the same problem). Thanks in advance.
