MQSeries.net :: View topic - MQSeries channel exit "failed to load" gotcha

kevint

When building an MQSeries channel exit on Windows using MicroSoft compilers - you must ensure that the matching runtime library is available on the deployed MQSeries queue manager platform or MQSeries will fail to load the channel exit and give you a misleading error message That
it "Cannot find the channel exit DLL". ( Cannot load would be more appropriate ) This problem will occur on CSD6 and earlier versions (latest at time of writing ).

If you build a debug version of your channel exit DLL - you will need to ensure that MSVCRTD.DLL is available on the target machine.

This problem wont show up during your development test cycles if you have a MicroSoft C/C++ compiler installed on the test machine - because the MSVCRTD.DLL will be present. Alternatively - provide a non-debug or release version of the channel exit DLL and you will be fine because MSVCRT.DLL will be used - and will be present.
