.NET Forum / .NET Framework / CLR / April 2007FileLoadException msvcm80.dll and msvcr80.dll are missing (by depends.exe)
Scenario: Code compiled on VS2005 When running on a machine w/o VS2005 - The application fail to load (it does load correctly on the first machine - just a clarification) I get: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly <my assembly> On machine w/ VS2005 When I check depends on my assembly it shows that I miss "msvcm80.dll" I copied it from the build machine to the bin folder, and now I get the same exception, depends points now to "msvcr80.dll" After copying this one too - I still get "System.IO.FileLoadException" but now depends.exe does not show any other missing dll How should I solve it? Is it correct that my app linked to VS80 dlls? If so - how should they be deployed to the other machine? Thanks Loy > Scenario: > Code compiled on VS2005 [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Loy Additional info: 1. The second machine have VS2003 installed (and I prefer, if I don't have to) to leave it without VS2005) 2. see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923610/en-us but it state: Prerequisites - You must have Visual Studio 2005 installed to apply this update. 3. the update is not available for download ??? Loy > Scenario: > Code compiled on VS2005 [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Loy Your application depends on VC 8 runtime components, so you have to distribute the VC 8 runtime, they are included with VS2005 , search for C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86, or wherever you installed VS2005 Note that when you did apply the SP1 for VS2005 (you better do), you have to redistribute vcredist_x86 that comes with it.

So it seems the redist file is installed correct. Could it be that depends fail to find a file that the runtime will find? What else could I check? This is all version-sensitive. Your exe has a manifest (yes?), so see which version it's looking for. For a new SP1 project it's probably 8.0.50727.762 but it might be lower. The VCRedist from SP1 will install this version together with a policy file to redirect other versions to this new one. So the issue is what's in your manifest, what's on the system, and if your manifest requires something other than 8.0.50727.762, does the Winsxs policy redirect it. Copying things around in bin folders is not likely to help because of the sxs installation of the 8.0 CRT.

Hi Loy, Have you tried using fuslogvw.exe (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e74a18c4(vs.71).aspx) to see why the load fails for your assembly? What does the log say about the exception?
