Help Working Thru Classic Article

In an attempt to understand API hooking, I've been working through API Hooking Revealed.

I've also downloaded the sample code, both the source and the precompiled binaries, but I'm getting an error when I try to run "HookSrv.exe":

the application has failed to start because MFC42D.DLL was not found

Does anyone know what this DLL is and why my computer doesn't have it?

Thanks for any info,
Johnny

MFC42D.DLL is the debug version of the MFC library (MFC42.dll is the non-debug version). The debug version is not redistributable, and it is included as part of Microsoft's Visual Studio packages. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...distribvc6.asp

If you don't have it on your computer than you must not have Visual Studio.

Re-compile a release version of the software, to remove the dependency on the debug version of MFC.
