I'm trying to use ICU4C on windows. I copied the 2 dlls into the executable directory and a ICU data file. According to what I read in the documentation, I should not need to set a specific data directory (http://userguide.icu-project.org/icudata), but my unit-tests run only when I set the ICU_DATA environment variable. Otherwise U_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR is returned on initialization or creation of converters. Can anyone tell me how to "install" this correctly so that I don't need to set the path?

1Have you tried using a data DLL instead of a .dat file? – gagolews Feb 26 '14 at 20:34

1did you ever figure this out, i think it cannot actually read it without u_setDataDirectory – tofutim Dec 22 '16 at 01:54

@gagolews - Do you know how to use the data DLL on Windows? – codesniffer Feb 01 '21 at 08:03

is the data dll 'big' or 'small'? ( kilobytes or megabytes ). Maybe it is the stub data dll and the full one is hiding.

1I know this is very old now, but I'm running into something very similar. Any idea where the data DLL is in a standard MSVC build? The nearest I can find based on "icudt" and file size is "icudt##l_dat.obj" which is 24MB for me (ICU57). – codesniffer Feb 01 '21 at 08:26

1@codesniffer hi! the DLL should be under `bin` or `bin64` if the build succeeded. – Steven R. Loomis Feb 04 '21 at 18:55
