If I install MonetDB in the normal way on a Windows machine, it installs the C runtime library dlls in a location like C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT...<br><br>However, we want to install MonetDB along with our product, in a single installation procedure that doesn&#39;t require the user to have administrative rights.&nbsp; That means we need to install the CRT directory as &quot;private assemblies&quot;, copying it to the MonetDB application directories.&nbsp; I&#39;ve almost gotten this to work by copying the CRT directory to MonetDB5/lib, bin and lib/MonetDB5.&nbsp; I can run MSQLServer.bat and mclient.bat in separate console windows.<br>
<br>But when I try to run some SQL commands (my test case is a &#39;create table&#39; and a &#39;copy into&#39; from a CSV file), mclient dies with a Windows exception.&nbsp; The event in Event Viewer shows:<br><br>&nbsp; Faulting application mclient.exe, version <a href="http://0.0.0.0">0.0.0.0</a>, faulting module ntdll.dll<br>
<br>In theory the private assemblies are all that Windows needs, and in fact the programs run which implies that the libraries are being found.&nbsp; I don&#39;t understand why the crash happens later.&nbsp; I&#39;m hoping someone else has tried this.&nbsp; The exception happens with the last official Windows release as well as with our built-from-cvs version.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Bryan Lewis<br><br>
