Re: FileLoadException msvcm80.dll and msvcr80.dll are missing (by depends.exe)

Hi Loy,

Have you tried using fuslogvw.exe (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e74a18c4(vs.71).aspx) to see why the load fails for your assembly? What does the log say about the exception?

Cheers!

Your application depends on VC 8 runtime components, so you have to distribute the VC 8
runtime, they are included with VS2005 , search for C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86, or wherever you installed VS2005

Note that when you did apply the SP1 for VS2005 (you better do), you have to redistribute
vcredist_x86 that comes with it.

I found the redist file and installed it on the second machine and
removed the copies of msvcm80 and msvcr80 from the application folder
I still see the same problem: FileLoadException and depends.exe claim
that msvcm80.dll is not found
The file is found under %windir%\winSxS\......
So it seems the redist file is installed correct.

Could it be that depends fail to find a file that the runtime will
find?
What else could I check?
