Yip that's correct. VC++ 6.00.

Yip it certainly has been added. See my setting with the reply to GORKA.

You are probably correct. However let me throw a spanner in the works. I
have the production application setup this way. This was done by
previous C/C++ developer. And this works. I have setup everything the
same as the production applications settings. But no luck!!

I am glad you mentioned this. Because I was wondering the same thing.
Why
Would the application look for a DLL call (for a lack of a better desc)
instead. __imp__xmlFree seems odd when comparing to the others. I
certainly don't understand why this is.

I assume you mean Visual C++ 6.0, not one of the newer .NET ones.

Forgive me for asking the obvious: did you add libxml2.lib to the
"Object/library modules" field of the Link tab of the Project Settings
dialog? The "resource file section" sounds like the wrong place to add a
library. Similarly, the location of libxml2's headers should be in the
"Additional include directories" field of the Preprocessor section of
the C/C++ tab, not the "Additional resource include directories" field
of the Resources tab.
If that's what you meant you did, then I don't know what the problem is
(although I do find it odd that xmlFree seems to be listed as a DLL
import while the others aren't).

Such disclaimers are rarely appropriate for lists like these; try to
avoid including them.
