The Visual C++ runtime should be deployed using the merge module or the vcredist.exe package. Those are the only two supported options.
Trying to redistribute it separately will likely screw up the component references, unless you use the same component GUIDs as the other packages do, and could make it unserviceable. Getting it wrong could lead to the DLL being removed prematurely and breaking either your application or other applications on the system On Windows XP and later, the Visual C++ 7.1 (2003) runtime is a Win32 side-by-side assembly and should be installed as such. The only exception is if you want a private copy in your own directory. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of diwakar09 Sent: 02 February 2008 08:23 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How to check msvcr71.dll is present in system32 Hi, I have to deploy a application in which i have to copy msvcr71.dll in system 32, I have to check if it is already there, msi should not copy the dll in to sys32, otherwise it will copy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
