gssapi32.dll

[Jeffery Dowell]

Ben -

I used dependency walker to view the dependencies of gssapi32.dll (in MIT folder) on both a working install and a nonfunctional install. Both showed various errors which were nearly identical.

Only this DLL was different and missing on the nonfunctional install:
API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL
The rest of the messages below were the same.

Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-SCALING-L1-1-1.DLL
DCOMP.DLL
IESHIMS.DLL

Also, I installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables for 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 in each of their 32bit and 64bit varieties.

Alas the error still persists and has appeared on a couple more computers as the installation efforts continue.

I installed a totally new Win7 with only SP1 (no software, no patches) and the install worked fine. Could it be that some other software is overwriting and changing an important version of DLL?

Thanks,

Jeffery

The list is archived at http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/kerberos/ , though the web view is not very searchable.  (Downloading the full raw archive will get something that a local MUA should be able to search,
though.)

I did a bit of poking with dumpbin.exe /dependents on my local machine, but nothing is standing out as obviously a candidate for being missing, other than the C runtime.  My build is a debug build, so I have msvcr100d.dll, but you probably have a non-debug build.

Can you try using Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to see if there are missing dependencies which could explain the LoadLibrary failure?
