I don't know why the DLL is required. Presumably it is included as a requirement for the Delphi Runtime Library. None of my code, or anything in the Chilkat library requires its use. I need the Chilkat library for some cryptographic and email functions. Other applications I have built using the Chilkat DLL don't have this issue. It appears to be limited to the use of Delphi 12. I appreciate all the help, but I think in this case, the solution is to drop Server 2008 R2 as a viable target platform.

I tried that but didn't see the feature. So I tried enabling it anyway, but got this:

Thanks guys. I guess I will just have to give up on the Server 2008 R2 platform, I can't find a way to install anything that's required. The SDK fails because some IsWow64 call fails, not fund in Kernel32.DLL and the CRT package still fails even after getting the SP1 prereq installed. We're using Server 2019 at AWS so we're hopefully good for a while there, and as long as I have Win7 and Win10 at home for testing it's all good.

Porting and building new binaries with Delphi 12. Upon copying them to a Server 2008 instance, some but not all of the new binaries fail because Windows is missing some string.l1.crt dll. What is odd is that all of binaries work on Windows 7 Enterprise. I thought Win 7 and Server basically the same codebase under the hood, so not sure why Server 2008 has an issue. Tried install a service pack from Microsoft that was supposed to install the missing update which includes the missing dll, but the package says it's not for that version of Windows, despite the KB article specifically saying it's for Server 2008 R2. Only thing I can think of at this point is to downgrade and go back to either D11 or D10. I'm not sure when the problem might have first manifested, I haven't used the Server 2008 R2 vm in a very long time for testing. I've tried copying/installing the missing dll in any number of ways but I always get the message.
