<p align=left><font face=Arial size=2>Im building a simple Windows C++ command line program in Visual Studio 2005 under WinXP Pro - SP2, with all the latest Windows Updates applied.</font>
<p align=left>
<p align=left>The build runs OK, but when I enter the debugger to test the function, I get an error popup:
<p align=left>
<p align=left><font color="#ff0000 "This application has failed to start because COREDLL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."</font>
<p align=left>
<p align=left>I understand that COREDLL.dll doesnt exist on Windows XP, as it is only applicable to Mobile. How do I find the reference to it?
<p align=left>
<p align=left><font color="#000000 The only includes Im using are: </font> <font color="#000000" size=2>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN </font><font size=2>
<font color="#000000 #include</font></font><font color="#000000 <font size=2> </font><font size=2><windows.h> </font></font><font size=2>
<font color="#000000 #include</font></font><font color="#000000 <font size=2> </font><font size=2><stdlib.h> </font></font><font size=2>
<font color="#000000 #include</font></font><font color="#000000 <font size=2> </font><font size=2><string.h> </font></font><font size=2>
<font color="#000000 #include</font></font><font color="#000000 <font size=2> </font><font size=2><memory.h></font></font>
<p align=left><font color="#800000 </font>
<p align=left><font color="#000000 It seems to be associated with strcat, as the debugger opens string.h when I press the OK button on the popup.</font>
<p align=left><font color="#000000 </font>
<p align=left><font color="#3366ff Any ideas?</font>
