Description damjan 2018-03-14 04:02:49 UTC 
I installed the latest SVN trunk (setup.exe produced during the AOO32 on Win64 build), for the first time on Windows 7. This was while investigating Bug 127731 that refers to odbcconfig.exe not working.

Our odbcconfig.exe ($OOO_BASE/program/odbcconfig.exe) itself gives the following error when double-clicked in Windows Explorer:
"The program can't start because MSVCRT90.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

But, *****FAR WORSE*****, other unrelated applications have broken!!! To examine odbcconfig.exe's exports, I tried using Visual Studio's dumpbin.exe, which I ran many times before and am certain it worked:
"/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin/dumpbin.exe" /imports  odbcconfig.exe
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin/dumpbin.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Double-click dumpbin.exe in Windows Explorer:
"The program can't start because mspdb80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstaling the program to fix this problem."

It seems installing AOO from SVN trunk results in loss of multiple system-wide CRT DLLs?

Is this still an issue with latest trunk builds?
Comment 2 oooforum (fr) 2021-01-11 10:49:47 UTC 
Is this still an issue with Github? :-)

This issue has nothing to do (In reply to Peter from comment #1)
> Is this still an issue with latest trunk builds?

Yes, nothing changed since then.

This issue has nothing to do with Subversion or GitHub.
Comment 5 Peter 2021-01-12 06:52:07 UTC 
doesn't this point to an issue in the windows installer?
Comment 6 Matthias Seidel 2021-01-12 10:17:35 UTC 
I am not sure if this is related to the installer..

But it is related to https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127731
Comment 7 Matthias Seidel 2023-10-02 14:31:50 UTC
