    The VC runtimes are authored inside the VS MSI so its not possible to separate it from the install.

    However, for redistribution purposes, there's a vc_redist.msi that gets installed to your deployment projects folder.  It might be called vc_redist.exe since its a self extracting EXE.

    It will contain MFC, ATL, etc.

    So we can create a seperate package and distribute this VC runtime files

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Is it in the form of cab file bcoz I searched the whole folder with the name vc_redist.msi and vc_redist.exe.

    I found 1 cab file named _18948_RTL_x86_enu_IA64_VC_Redists.cab inside the VS Folder is this the one to refer. or is there any other exe to which i want to look into.

    Thanks

    They should be installed on your machine.

    I found the x86 version under:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86>
