You're welcome. > So the recommended method is just to get the target machines to > install the redistributable? Yeah. There is always the question of whether or not you have the right to distribute those libraries yourself. You may or may not require a Visual Studio license -- the whole subject is murky and there is a lot of discussion about it on various groups from what I could see from searches I've done over the past year or so. I've avoided the problem by simply avoiding any embedding.... > I suppose you could included it in an installer for your app or something. Yes. There are merge modules available to do precisely that. Again, the source of those should be considered carefully if you personally don't have Visual Studio.
