If the C++ runtime msvcr80.dll is missing from a compiled library, is there any way to determine which version was used to create the library or to get it to run on a later version of msvcr80.dll?

The VC80 SP1 CRT redistributable package will install both the RTM and SP1 versions of the C runtime into
%SystemRoot%\WinSxS(assuming you’re using Windows XP or Vista; Windows 2000 doesn’t support side-by-side assemblies). If you have VC8 installed, the CRT redistributable package is in%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist. If you don’t have VC8 installed, I think you can download the CRT redistributable package from Microsoft.com.Also, to find out exactly what CRT version (e.g. RTM vs. SP1) is needed by a binary that was built with VC8 or VC9, you can extract the manifest:
Look for something like this:
My executable requires CRT version 9.0.21022.8. This version number is also embedded in the
WinSxSsubdirectory names (unfortunately it’s surrounded by hashes):
