[CMake] cpack install problem

[Dean Inglis]

Hi Bill,

within the exe there appear to be two versions:

 <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT"
version="8.0.50727.4053" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT"
version="8.0.50727.762" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

Not sure what to do to correct this.  Why would the linker/compiler
embed two different assembly identities?

Dean

Pull up myKWWidgetsApp.exe in text editor and look for the embeded 
manifest xml.  Just search for xml.  See if it has two version of the 
run time libraries it wants.  If so, you are linking in something that 
uses two different version of the run time.
