"This Application has failed to started because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
re-installing the application may this this problem"

i downloaded the updated version of windowsdefender, installed it, restarted
my computer and this is what i got. i tried reinstalling twice it but i keep
getting the same thing.
I ran search and found the dll in C:\windows\SxS, and tried copying it into
my systems32 folder but thats not working either. has this happened to anyone
else yet? any suggestions?

thanks.
 
Which version of Windows?


See if you have a 614,400 byte one in
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215

and, if not, see if you have one that size and version number in one of the
SxS locations to copy.

an alternative idea is to reinstall .NET 2.0--but then I'm not totally
certain it is involved at all...

I haven't been able to find out either where this file should come from, or
where it should be located, for things to work correctly. I've got a bunch
of them, some from Windows Live OneCare, and some from .NT 2.0.

OK - did a little more research. I did an administrative install of the
..MSI file, and found msvcr80.dll in these locations and sizes:
-------------------
Directory of C:\defender admin\WINDOWS\system32

09/22/2005 11:48 PM 626,688 msvcr80.dll
1 File(s) 626,688 bytes

Directory of C:\defender admin\WINDOWS\winsxs\p6hpravq.lm8

09/22/2005 11:48 PM 626,688 msvcr80.dll
1 File(s) 626,688 bytes

Directory of C:\defender admin\WINDOWS\winsxs\r6hpravq.lm8

09/22/2005 11:48 PM 626,688 msvcr80.dll
--------------------------

When I look at \Windows, however, this is the only file of that size I find:

E:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd

09/23/2005 08:29 AM 626,688 msvcr80.dll


So--I'm not sure what to suggest--maybe a repair install--start, control
panel, add or remove programs, WIndows Defender, click here for support
information, repair.
 
I updated the manifest file msascui.exe.manifest to include a dependency on
the version of msvcr80.dll that I had installed on my system and things
started working for me.
Here is how my manifest file reads:

FYI

I have XP Home, in Windows/System 32, I have 2 files:
msvcr70.dll
msvcr71.dll
but msvcr80.dll is AWOL, and I don't have any problems.
 
I too have "MSASCui.exe Unable to locate Component - MSVCP80.dll not found"
- can anyone help me? Running XP Professional.
 
Please delete c:\program files\windows defender\MSASCui.exe.manifest and let
me
know if this resolves the issue
