Getting an error "The ordinal 6828 could not be located in dynamic link library MFC42.dll"

[Shravani Chatterjee]

Hey there,
Can anyone say when I install an application which is developed on
Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows NT 4.0 service pack 4, I get an error "The
ordinal 6828 could not be located in dynamic link library MFC42.dll"
when I click on the exe of the application.

Thanks
Shravani

You need to use static linking in your app. If you don't, you will be at the
mercy of whatever version of MFC happens to be installed on each of your
clients' systems, now and forever.

There are many myths about the benefits of dynamic linking, but in the long
run, it ain't worth it.

You have the wrong version of the MFC42.dll installed. You can either
statically link (ugly), put the DLL in your own directory (slightly
ugly) or use an installer program to install the correct DLLs
(optimal). It has been many years since an installation can be done by
a "copy" command.
