[gdal-dev] Missing msvcr80.dll ?

[Martin Chapman]

Harsh,

Hey, good point and on another note, recently Microsoft released a Visual
Studio update that deploys an even newer version of the CRT that fixes a
security fix.  Problem is that if you have Automatic Updates turned on and
you don't know that you got this update you can make the mistake of
recompiling your project and setup application without including the merge
module dependency for the new CRT in your setup program.  When you deploy to
a machine that didn't get this update you will get a nasty error that your
app can't start because of a missing DLL or missing side by side dependency.


Moral of the story, if GDAL use to work and it doesn't anymore all of the
sudden check your manifest and make sure you know what CRT or CRT's your
application needs to redistribute.

And unlike previous versions (msvcrt71) you cannot copy over 8.0 versions
dlls from somewhere to your application directory in order to make it work.
The solution per Martin's suggestion is to install vcredist.exe.

Martin,

Sounds like that copy of GDAL you have has a manifest dependency on that
version of the C runtime.  You can download the vcredist.exe for the 8.0
version of the CRT from Microsoft and install it on that computer or make
your own by including the merge module for that CRT in a custom setup
program.

Best regards,
Martin

Dear Group

Thanks for GDAL

I am running a script in Python, using GDAL.
Would like to run it on another (faster) computer.
Installed Python and GDAL


When I run the program it asks for a MSVCR80.dll file

Cant find it anywhere on the computer

Tried to copy it from the old computer, but it won't accept to load that.

What the h... is MSCVR80 and how do I get it onto my computer ???

Best Regards
Martin Hvidberg
