This article was previously published under Q119518 SUMMARY
When debugging a DLL by using the Visual Workbench debugger or CodeView
for Windows, one of the following errors may occur:
In the IDE debugger for Windows:
DEBUG ERROR: Could not load debugee, Attempt to dynamically link
to a task[5]
In Codeview for Windows:
Could not load debugee, Attempt to dynamically link to a task[5]
In the 32-bit debugger:
Error loading process
Unable to locate DLL
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)
These error messages may occur when integer 5 is the return value from
Windows API LoadLibrary() used by the debugger.
MORE INFORMATION
The error occurs when Windows tries to load a library that it does not
recognize as a DLL. Most often it is because the definition file for the
DLL does not contain a LIBRARY statement, instead it uses a NAME statement.
To avoid the error message, simply changing NAME to LIBRARY in the DLL's
.DEF file.
If the DLL is explicitly loaded using LoadLibrary(), failure to specify the
.DLL extension in the parameter of LoadLibrary() may also trigger a
similar error message.
If the import library of a DLL is linked with the application, verify that
the library name matches the DLL's name.
