I have an application that requires Microsoft VC++ 2005 (SP1) Redistributable Package.
I know that I can just download it and install it.
The problem is, in our server, there is Microsoft VC++ 2008 (SP1) Redistributable Package already installed.
Now, do I still need to install the 2005 (SP1) version?
Or the 2008 (SP1) is “backward compatible” with 2005 (SP1)?
Thank you.
You need to install the 2005 redist :- the package it installs consists of dlls called MSVCR80.dll, whereas the 2008 redist has the MSVCR90.dll files.
They are not compatible.
