This is probably an extremely stupid question, but................. When I go to a list of my programs in the control panel it says Microsoft visual c++, however when I go looking I cant find it. I searched through the program files and it has 2 different MS visual studio folders ( MS visual studio (14.5K) and MS visual studio 8 (1.2M)) but I still cant see where, or if I can use the c++ program that's with it. Any ideas anyone?
A Microsoft Office install will create the folders, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistrib' in the Add\Remove list, enables applications developed using MS VC++ to run on computers that don't have MSVC++ installed, kind of like the VB6.0 Runtime Library. I think Windows may create a Visual Studio folder on installation, can't be sure on that though, I know office does. - Vista Cabal "Niall 84" wrote in message news:fd1788bf-6be9-447a-8505-b019a739a847@b1g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... > This is probably an extremely stupid question, but................. > > When I go to a list of my programs in the control panel it says > Microsoft visual c++, however when I go looking I cant find it. > > I searched through the program files and it has 2 different MS visual > studio folders ( MS visual studio (14.5K) and MS visual studio 8 > (1.2M)) but I still cant see where, or if I can use the c++ program > that's with it. > > Any ideas anyone?
Thats grand so, Just making sure!!! Thanks for clearing it up.
No problems, a Windows install wouldn't typically create the folders. Windows OEM laptop versions\editions may create the Visual Studio folders depending on what is installed with windows. That also applies with the VC++2005 redist' runtime libraries. - Vista Cabal "Niall 84" wrote in message news:a7395d97-8f69-4f43-b671-8d7deb5699b0@e2g2000hsh.googlegroups.com... > Thats grand so, > > Just making sure!!! > > Thanks for clearing it up.
