[zeromq-dev] SEHException when calling zmq_init from clrzmq

Steven, Peter,

I'd installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) on the server - is this the correct version? I have very little experience with C++ myself so apologies for any stupid questions around this area.

I have tested some non-web apps and they also seem to be experiencing problems, even on servers where earlier versions of clrzmq worked ok (clrzmq 2.2.3 and libzmq 2.1.11). I need to investigate this in more detail though as the app I'm using to test this isn't very informative when things fail and I'm having trouble remote debugging it.

So hopefully it is as simple as something missing from the environment. My dev machine has Visual Studio 2010 on it and numerous variations of the C++ runtime libraries, which could explain it.

Many thanks,

Tom
