RE: Vista / XP msvcrt.dll error

Hi David,

Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, I have checked this with several VC++ developers. Based on their
feedback, unless you've done something really strange, VC2005 will not
create binaries with a dependency on Vista's msvcrt.dll. VC2005 will create
binaries with a dependency on msvcr80.dll. vcredist_x86.exe only installs
msvcr80.dll, not msvcrt.dll.

The problem is not with the binary built with VC2005. The problem is with
some other binary on the your problematic machine. Something else has been
copied from a Vista machine to the problematic machine. Use depends.exe to
find out what DLL is causing a dependency on the Vista version of
msvcrt.dll.

Another developer also confirmed:
"Msvcrt.dll is an OS binary. It looks like your customer somehow compiles
against Vista msvcrt.lib. It is not a supported scenario."

I will wait for your further findings with depends.exe. Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
