Thanks for that. I think I know what it is (working hypothesis).
I think on installation, it is parking the run-time Visual Studio executables in Windows Systems32 directory (that C2.EXE directly depends on)
But, they dont get installed. They dont get installed because newer versions are already present in the Windows Systems32 directory.

Well, I went and looked -- on VB5, anyway, everything is on the CD in uncompressed form, so there's one way to check.

I just looked though, and in my System32 directory, the copy of MSVCRT40 dates from '94 and is only 61k. The VB5 copy is '96 and 326k, but the installation only copied it into the DevStudio setupkit directory, not into either System32 or the VB5 binaries directory--for whatever that means. There are two copies of the later version on the system, but the other one is in another application's local directory.
