I talked to my local Guru on windows / visual studio,
but here is a link even better:
http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/vcredists_x86.asp

the exe for redistributing MSVCRT80.dll is missing from the visual studio express version. but MS has it for download, so the workaround
on that page isn't necessary.

in summary this is an improvement: with older VC you need to include
and copy the MSVCRT*.DLL, with VC8 you have an exe, include it in your
installer, and make sure it is called before installing your app, and
it takes care to make sure that MSVCRT80.DLL is already installed.
less trouble, and now windows update can even take care of fixing that
DLL whenever needed.

but: vcredist_x86.exe was fixed in vc8 SP1 so it only needs Windows installer 2.0, not 3.0. the version for download seems to be the original version requiring windows installer 3.0 :(
but maybe there is an updated download somewhere.
