Sounds ridiculous, but I need to install the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161" on win2008-R2 64bit

I go here

Run the installer, everything's fine. But after the reboot, I don't see the entry in the "Program and features" ? And, of course, my dll -which is linked against vc9- cannot find the crt.

Where's my mistake ?

  • You installed the x86 version of the CRT. If you're trying to run an x64 application, this isn't the one you want. – Cody Gray - on strike Jan 07 '12 at 16:31
  • No, In fact I'm running an x86 app. In fact I just think the link isn't good :) By the way all these manifest are exhausting. Do you think if a rollup is existing ? – Stef Jan 07 '12 at 16:46
  • The Windows-on-Windows 64-bit (WoW64) subsystem which allows execution of 32-bit applications is an optional component in Windows Server 2008 r2. Do you have that component installed? – DRH Jan 07 '12 at 17:26

The link is for the SP 1 version of the runtime. Googling the version number you mention suggests you need the original release, not sp1. You can find it here.
