I have a Windows, C++ software project (built with Visual Studio 2005, SP1) that has the following (simplified) file layout: {App. Root Directory} |-- bin | |-- Microsoft.VC80.CRT | +-- Microsoft.VC80.MFC +-- utils There are various executables that live in both the bin and utils directories. Each of these executables rely on the side-by-side assembly (C++ run-time DLLs) that we store in bin , but we have segregated them into these separate folders for various reasons (e.g., the exes in the utils folder are supplemental tools to our primary application, and are run infrequently). As a direct

Visual Studio 2010 installs version ...4974 of the VC9 runtime whose .pdbs are unavailable . How can I force my GME.exe to use an older VC9 runtime? I've tried putting this into GME.exe.config : <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <windows> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="GME" processorArchitecture="x86" version="1.0.0.1"/> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b" processorArchitecture="x86" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="9.0.21022.8-9.0.21022.4974"

Where can I find some official note, kb article or other documentation describing changes to the Visual Studio 2010 C/C++ runtime linking and deployment policy? Under Visual Studio 2008 (with the VC90 runtime) a manifest was embedded in native images, and the runtime libraries were deployed as side-by-side assemblies (WinSxS). This caused problems when rebuilding a native exe or library using VS 2008 SP1, in that an updated version of the C++ runtime was required by the embedded manifest. For VS 2010 and the MSVCR100 runtime version, the policy seems to have changed completely. The file

I can't run a debug sdk application because it requires both VC 8 and VC 9 versions of the CRT. But it only requires visual studio 2008 for plugin dev, which is what I need. How do I install the debug runtimes from 2005 on to a Windows7 machine? I can't figure out how to make them run app local nor can I copy anything into the winSxS folder without a trusted installer. Refer to this post . As per this the debug dlls can be found at: For Visual Studio 2005: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x86 For Visual Studio 2008: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9

I have a problem with Visual C++ 2008. I have installed opencv and I've created a new program and I build it with no errors. However, it complains about not finding MSVCR90D.dll when debugging. In release mode there is no problem at all. I do have MSVCR90D.dll in one of Winsxs folders. Does anyone know a get-around to this problem? Is this a known bug? Gerard There are several potential solutions described in this forum post . See if any of those help. One hint from there: Go to %System Drive%\Windows\WinSxS and look for the directory x86_Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_x
