Visual Studio error ntstatus 0xc0150002

[shoonya]

Hi,
I am bit new to visual studio.
I am having following error while building the project.

LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe abc.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002

abc.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\incops3\ICDCNL.dll', Binary was not built with debug information.

What should I do in this case.
I am using xp and visual studio2005

Visual Studio has two types of builds: Release and Debug.

Release builds do not contain code to support the debugger whereas Debug builds do. It means that Debug builds are larger and run slower than Release builds due to that debugger support code. Debug builds also require a .pdb file (program database built and maintained by Visual Studio).

You will find that moving your Debug executable to another computer will cause a crash at run time because the .pdb file is missing.

The default build is Debug.

That means your .DLL needs to be a debug DLL. It looks like you have a relase build DLL. Most DLLs come in both versions. The usual convention is MyDll.dll for the Release version and MyDllD.dll for the debug version.

After your debugging is complete and you are ready to distribute your executable, then you make a final Release build and send that out.

You switch the build type between Release and Debug by using your Configuration Manager.

Hi,

thanks for the prompt reply,

I am using debug mode.
I gave a full clean and build my whole project in debug mode, then also I am getting this error.

Can you tell me where to find "configurat ion manager"

Go to your Project Properties.

There is a button in the upper-right corner labeled "Configurat ion Manager".

[shoonya]

I checked in "configurat ion manager"

All the modules are having "Debug" against it
and I never changed it to "Release"
so if i am giving fresh build then all my dll should be in "debug" mode.

but then also It's giving same error again
:(

Is your DLL abc.dll or ICDCNL.dll?
What wfc was saying holds true only for ICDCNL.dll.

As for the other message,I think it is a VS2005 bug.
Do you have SP1 installed?

[shoonya]

My dll is abc.dll
and i have got SP3 installed

[shoonya]

What exactly is this "VS2005 bug"
there are similar systems here having SP3 but their visual studio is running fine with same piece of code

I have already got my visual studio re-installed

[weaknessforcats]

The original error was that abc.exe (a debug project) was executing inside Visual Studio and it loaded an ICDCNL.dll that was not a debug dll.

You have to change your project to a release project in order to use this dll.

giving more details:

I am having many projects, and 1 has been set as "startup project", say FOO
On starting the debug, it's giving message "foo.exe has triggered a breakpoint"
and it breaks at line no: 459, file: crtdll.c
and output window is having above mentioned error.
