I have a vendor application whose installer starts a process that is leaving the following eventviewer messages: SideBySide EventID 32: Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. SideBySide EventID 59: Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.MFC. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. SideBySide EventID 59: Generate Activation Context failed for C:\DOCUME~1\myuserid\Local Settings\Temp\1\MSIB.tmp. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. I downloaded the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 redistributable and installed it, but the error messages still appear. Does anyone have any ideas on other redistributables I might need to install here, or how to at least debug which specific DLL the application needs and cannot load? -- Will
VC 8 is Visual Studio 2005, not 2008, so you should be downloading/installing the VC++ 2005 redist. -- Phil Wilson Definitive Guide to Windows Installer http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590592972 "Will" <westes-usc@noemail.nospam> wrote in message news:wsednTFdwPjjn0bVnZ2dnUVZ_oninZ2d@giganews.com... >I have a vendor application whose installer starts a process that is >leaving the following eventviewer messages: > > SideBySide EventID 32: > Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC could not be found and Last Error > was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. > > SideBySide EventID 59: > Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.MFC.
