Re: side-by_side error on Vista

In the project settings, in C/C++ / CodeGeneration select non DLL 'runtimes library'
This fixed the problem for me

I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate group for this question, but

It's not, but I'll try to help anyway.

here goes:
I'm compiling an application on an XP machine and testing it on Vista.
As stated in the subject line, I'm getting a side-by-side configuration
error when trying to run to run it on Vista.

Vista's event viewer tells me the problem is
Dependent Assembly
Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762"
could not be found
If I'm reading this correctly, (and I'm a bit of a novice) ...
Dependency Walker told me that the offending DLLs are MSVCR80.DLL and/or
MSVCP80.DLL

It seems that Vista's versions are older versions than the ones I have on
XP if the version numbers are in sequence.
I tried just copying the newer DLLs to the app's startup directory, but it
looks like those days are gone.

I'm hoping that this is a common problem and some of you will know an easy
solution?


On your XP machine, look in the directory where Visual Studio is installed for the file redist.txt which will tell you what files you are allowed to redistribute with your application. The file you probably want is vcredist_x86.exe which you can find by searching subdirectories of the Visual Studio directory (on my system it is in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86\vcredist_x86.exe". Run that on the Vista system to install the runtime required by your application.
