[ace-bugs] tao_idl.exe error when compiled with Visual Studio 2017 release mode

[Ken Holladay]

No other possible dll in the path. In fact, the path shown on all three error messages is the correct path. For my particular build, the path is either
C:\Libraries\VS2017\x64\ACE_wrappers\lib or C:\Libraries\VS2017\x64\ACE_wrappers\bin. In each case, the error indicates that an entry point is missing.

Hi,

Haven't heard this before. Is there not by accident another version of the TAO dlls in the path?

Best regards,
