I’ve got a project that depends on a particular version of MSVCR80.dll (the MS Visual C Runtime) and I’m running into problems where, depending on the particular system configuration, my app doesn’t always get the right version of that file. It’s been a bit of a crap shoot as to what path it takes to find a file with that name, and it’s not always right…
