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.

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 ???
