Hmm - I've looked at this quite a bit. I still haven't figured out where those win32 redist files are supposed to be. I've installed Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition, the platform SDK, and the .NET v2 SDK, and I still do not have all of those files mentioned in the Makefile.in above. I have these two folders: C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd and C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700 They both contain the 3 msvc*.dll files, but no manifest file. The microsoft website says msvcr80.dll and the other redistributable files are supposed to be in a sub directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist but I do not have that directory, nor have I been able to figure out which package provides it. Alternately, MS provides a downloadable self-installing file for each platform - e.g. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65127 - we could provide those for download, or just provide a link to the MS download site (if the license forbids us from putting the files on our site). This is so irritating - why can MS just provide the darn file with the OS???? _______________________________________________ dev-tech-ldap mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-ldap
