I don't suppose that the redistributable C/C++ runtime library merge module
has been packaged into an MSI script and is available for download
somewhere? They are bloating up my distribution files and I would prefer to
just provide a link.

Regards,

George.
 
Hi Geogre,

Thank you posting!

If you mean the Visual C++ 2005's C/C++ runtime library redistributable,
you can find its redistributable package in the following download link:

9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en

I hope the suggestions were helpful. If you have any other concerns, please
feel free to let me know.. It's my pleasure to be of assistance.

Thanks!

Gary,

Thanks. This solves at least part of my problem. It says that it installs
the C/C++ libraries as side-by-side assemblies, which is what I need for one
application. However I have another application where I need to use the
C/C++ libraries in an isolated application. Does the package also include
versions of the runtime library for use with isolated applications?

Regards,

George.

If that isolated applications is a VC2005 program, then there would be no
proble. :)

Gary,

As I suspected, this package only installs the VC redistributables into the
WinSxS folder. There is no option simply to extract the files to a folder.
As I explained, this works for many applications, however, I also have
several appliations where I need to run the VC runtimes as an isolated sxs
assembly. To do this with the package at your link I would need to instruct
my users to download the redistributable package, install it into a virtual
machine, locate the winsxs folder and copy the vc runtimes and then locate
the correct manifest in a different folder and copy that as well. Not a
particularly inviting option.

Regards,

George.

Hi Geogre,

I got your concerns now. But currently we don't have a particular VC2005
runtime libraries redistributables package which could be installed to a
specific folder now. In most cases, the VC2005 application would research
their C++ runtime libraries in the standard WinSxS folder.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you in such scenario, if
your application's manifest specify to load the C++ runtime libraries in an
isolated folder, then you may need let your clients to copy them manually.

Thanks for your understanding!
