DLL missing

DLL missing

  I just created a new project under VS 2005 Beta 2 and hit the same error that started this thread, but other projects that I've done work.  
  
  I verified that the copy under the correct manifest directory for VS Beta 2 is version 8.0.50215.44 and the one under the \Windows\System32 is 8.0.40607.16. 
  
  Questions: Should there even be a copy of msvcr80d.dll sitting in the Windows\System32 directory   Having it here seems to contradict the designs of WinSxS.   Or is this just an unwanted artefact of a previous beta install  
  
  I "hid" the copy uner Windows\System32 and ran the executable.  The loader complains that it cannot find msvcr80d.dll.  (sigh)  Okay, well that says that my exe doesn't have manifest info.
  
  I hit this exact issue before (actually twice), where if I open the executable with the resource editor, it'll complain "can't enumerate resources."  I never did find the cause of it.
  
  Both times I hit it, I posted it:
  http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=57505
  http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=80576
  
  In both cases, it was not clear what I did to fix the problem.
  
  Now this case.  After completely recreating my project from scratch (reintroducing my cpp files), the problem went away.  (Before I tried deleting the debug directory and rebuilding, but that appeared to be insufficient, but perhaps I wasn't "careful" enough.)

  You probably have an old MSVCR80D.dll in the path. Please verify that you are loading the correct MSVCR80D.dll.
  
  Put it under the debugger and see the location of the MSVCR80D.dll that you are picking.

  I hit the missing msvcr80(d).dll dialog yet again, in the middle of normal development.  After nuking my debug and release directories and rebuilt, the problem did NOT go away.  After renuking these directories, shutting down the IDE, starting it back up, and rebuilding, the problem DID go away.  Apparently there is something in RAM interfering with the creation of the manifest.  Not a very scientific explanation, but it's all I can tell from my vantage point.

  It says it did load msvcr80d.dll, but still

  I replaced the dll with the one found under WinSxS, and now it seem to work !!
  but can pour some insight into what is going on and which other files need to be replaced under the system32 coz under the same WinSxS directory there are 2 more files namely ..
  
  msvcm80d.dll
  msvcp80d.dll
  
  thanks

  Did you try looking in the %windir%\SxS directory You could be facing an issue related to manifests.

  for ex one was under
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\Dll\x86
  but the sizes are vary diff, the one being used is around 1.2MB and this is one is just around 57kb.

  There is one that is currently being used at
  C:\WINDOWS\system32  which is 1016Kb
  
  and another one at
  
  C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50215.4652_x-ww_a12cf373 which is 1120Kb
  
  
  "You could be facing an issue related to manifests" what do you mean by that
  
  thanks
