GUI applications fail to start

Last Revision Date: 5/17/2014

This article explains why applications that link to the FlyCapture2GUI.dll may fail to start, and how to fix this issue.

Description

User-configured applications that link to the FlyCapture2GUI.dll may fail to start due to a 'Mixed DLL Loading Problem' described in this Microsoft knowledge base article. This issue may manifest itself as an 'Access Violation' or other error. FlyCapture2GUI.dll is included as a source code example in version 2.x of the FlyCapture SDK, and is also included beginning with version 1.6 of the Ladybug SDK. 

Resolution

Configure the application to 'delay load' the FlyCapture2GUI.dll, as described in this Microsoft knowledge base article. Alternatively, 'delay load' the .dll that is interfering with FlyCapture2GUI.dll, if it can be identified.
