It wouldn't be - that file is the merge module we build into the installer, and unless you have a non-Express version of Visual C++ you won't have it. It'll get unpacked into the files we need upon installation. > C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700\MSVCR80.dll > is however exactly there on my system.

Looking at the Microsoft notes (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235290.aspx) - it makes the point that the installation will fail for non-administrators, and the dependent apps then won't work. I don't suppose you have power user rights but not full administrator rights in user account you're using? Regards,.
