Sorry, I was assuming that the problem was that heat.exe
wouldn't run because MSVCR80.DLL was missing, but I see that Heat is a .NET
Framework executable. I have to assume that you're trying to include the Visual
C Runtime in your package. You should ignore this dependency from
Heat.
The supported method of redistributing the VS2005
C runtime within an MSI is to use a <Merge> element to merge in the
Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm merge module.

that policy file and but I don’t think the redirect is
working. <bindingRedirect
oldVersion="8.0.41204.256-8.0.50608.0"
newVersion="8.0.50727.42"/> heat still cannot find
MSVCR80.DLL. From: Mike
Dimmick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, it does indeed
do this. However, you should have a publisher policy installed on your machine
which redirects to 8.0.50727.42. I also have one which redirects to
8.0.50727.163. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with all current
patches. Look in
%SystemRoot%\WinSXS\Policies\x86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_x-ww_77c24773
and check that 8.0.50727.42.policy is present, and that the corresponding .cat
file is also present. If not, reinstall the vcredist package. You can't just
copy MSVCR80.DLL - you must use an installer which correctly installs the Win32
assemblies. --

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Chin Visual Studio 2005 Released version
8.0.50727.42 creates output DLLs with a manifest that says it depends upon
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT"
version="8.0.50608.0" Thus, heat can never find the
MSVCR80.DLL version on the machine. Is there a way to make heat ignore the
version dependency so as to take the latest version which is on the
machine? Alternatively, is there a patch to VS 2005 to create
correct manifest that indicates the correct version of VC80.CRT that it is using
instead of a beta 2 version? |
