No, I don't call mono_set_dirs(). The result console in screenshot is the
code you see in VC behind (with mono_set_dirs commented).
I've un-comment mono_set_dirs to this:
mono_set_dirs("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mono-2.4.2.3\\lib\\", "C:\\Program
Files (x86)\\Mono-2.4.2.3\\etc\\");
and it don't works better than before (always glib error) but this time I
don't need to care about mscorlib.dll. If I understand well, it tells where
to find mscorlib.dll. So, to release the app I need to move each asked dll
to a subfolder (and keep directory hierarchy) with mono_set_dirs("./lib",
"./etc") where '.' is in fact the current folder (working directory)?

It is, but I mention it to say that the sample is not up-to-date and
compilable.

Ok, I didn't know. (for people looking for more information, I found this
wiki thread talking about it:  http://www.mono-project.com/CSharp_Compiler
http://www.mono-project.com/CSharp_Compiler ).
I've compiled with gmcs (because I plan to use C# 3.0 or 3.5 implementation)
and GLib error is still here.

Sorry, i'm not an english native-speaker.
So, I mean why Mono don't handle relative path? As you see on the screenshot
(http://www.nabble.com/file/p25093790/visual_mono_glib_asssertion_error.png),
I give the path of my file in absolute way:
const char* file = "C:\\Users\\Lucyberad\\Documents\\Visual Studio
2008\\OtherProject\\SandboxMono\\Builds\\Debug\\helloworld.exe";
I want to do:
const char* file = "helloworld.exe"; or const char* file =
"./helloworld.exe";
This allow me to make the program runnable on an other computer than mine.
I'll make a "trick" which transform a relative path into an absolute path
but I'm suprised that there is no relative path allowed as input in Mono
Path (mono_set_dirs() or mono_domain_assembly_open()).
I'm not sure if it's more about C++ than Mono.
Probably it will no longer be a problem for me because I plan to use AOT and
use Bundles (I don't know yet exactly how it works, but I actually focus on
making a simple helloworld working on embed app).

-----------------------

More info on GLib error (maybe it will help): The only link I made is to
mono.lib, created from mono.dll with mono.def file. I've made a copy of
mono.dll, libgthread-2.0-0.dll & libglib-2.0-0.dll into the working
directory.

I attached to this thread the  http://www.nabble.com/file/p25108056/main.cpp
main.cpp  file.

Thanks for help,
Lucyberad.
