I have created a brand new project and I have no dll with the same name lurking around somewhere. Any idea about checks/solutions?

i would suggest to look into xlw if you really want efficiency and be able to pass something more complex then simple types.http://xlw.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately it seems like xlw does not support my machine specifications, I can not even run the xlw installer.Is anyone aware of a tutorial on how to build xl dlls for 64 bit vista using vs2008? I am now basically tired of "short cuts" and would consider doing this properly from scratch, however I do not really know where to start..

does anybody know why VS2008 or VS2005 needs explicit advice the linker to use the *.def file (MSVC does not, if I remember correctly)?
