This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not f

[Guest]

I don't know if this is what we are supposed to do to resolve the issue, but
I updated the manifest file (MSASCui.exe.manifest) for defender because I was
getting the error message "This application has failed to start because
MSVCR80.dll was not found."
I added in the section for the dependency on the Microsoft.VC80.CRT and
everything starting working. I based this on the information on
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=140519&SiteID=1

The MSASCui.exe.manifest has been updated to read as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

Current advice for this issue is to delete this manifest file.
