[vtkusers] Trouble Distributing VC9-compiled VTK

[David Cole]

You say you have the msvc* dlls installed... but do you also have the
manifest file installed that goes with them?
Did you produce all your binaries as a result of a clean, full build? Or an
incremental build?

Do you use CMake to produce a "make install" tree and an installer or do you
have some other way of packaging your program? If you use CMake, you should:
  INCLUDE(InstallRequiredSystemLibraries)
somewhere in your CMakeLists.txt file.


HTH,
David
