deploying extended stored proc

Hi
I have written an extended stored procedure DLL, thanks to the people who
helped me on this.
however i wonder if anyone could shed any light on my deployment issues that
I'm having with it.
Basically, I built it on my XP development PC with VC7.1. I can deploy it on
this PC's local default instance of MSDE without problems. It uses no manage
d
code whatsoever, and is compiled without /clr. Totally unmanaged.
I am trying to deploy it to a different PC with Win2K, and again - a local,
default, instance of MSDE. I copied it to C:\program files\microsoft sql
server\mssql\binn just as on my pc, added it using "sp_addextendedproc
'xp_myproc', 'xp_myproc.dll'", but it gave the error:
ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1
Cannot load the DLL xp_myproc.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason:
126(error not found).
The only thing I can think to be different is that one's got Win2000,
whereas my dev. PC has got XP. This shouldn't matter though, should it?
I checked that the names are the correct case, correct names of the
procedure and the DLL filename and everything.
What could be wrong?
ThanksSorry for the obvious question, but perhaps you added the dll file for the w
rong instance of SQL
server?

target:
There's only one, default, instance of SQL Server (MSDE) on the machine. The
path of the binaries is
c:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\binn
and this is the only location where sqlservr.exe is found on the machine.

Re-reading the error message, it can also be that the DLL you produced in re
turn references some
other DLL file, and this is the file that cannot be found. (I'm sorry if I'm
stating the obvious
here... :-\).
I'm sure that there are tools out there to check DLL dependencies etc to inv
estigate what the
problem might be. Perhaps some of the VC persons can pick up on that. ;-)

i.e. just let the wizard create one, don't add any code, and compile. That
doesn't work on it either.
