I've built Csound on a new machine with win7. I'm using the latest
source and it builds Ok. When I run it however I get an error dialog
saying "csound.exe was unable to start correctly(0xc000007b). Click ok
to close the application'. Any ideas?

Profile csound.exe in the free depends.exe tool. Then the log should
tell you what the problem is.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks Mike. I'm still at a loss here. I did as you suggested and
depends.exe gives me some info about GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL not
being found? I've checked for both files and they exist in system32.
The output from the program is given below but it doesn't mention
anything about GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL? I don't know if it's
relevant but I'm using gcc 4.6.2.
