That is a Visual Studio 2005 Library (see C Run-Time Libraries[^]) are you sure you have re-built all the project components?

that's what I was thinking too, that's not the version that corresponds with either VS2010 or 6

It seems that CRT 8.0 is missing from your computer.

Try this How to Distribute C run-time (CRT) Libraries with Your Application[^]

Also ensure that you recompiled all modules of your application (this will remove all dependencies on MSVCP80.DLL). MSVCP80.DLL is used if some modules of your app were compiled in Visual Studio 2005.

Solution 3

You should upgrade VC++ 6.0 projects in VC++ 2005 or VC++ 2008 only. VC++ 2010 generates errors on VC++ 6.0 projects. See this Microsoft's reply.

Your linked page actually mentions only the Express Edition of VS2010.

Correct, but what is the difference concerning libraries used in all VC++ 2010 versions (if it is not MFC/ATL)? Though this link ( http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/pl-PL/vcgeneral/thread/d40cda97-7e8b-464c-ab07-c5bb28b09b16) says that with SP1 everything will be okay. If nothing will help i think he should try VC++ 2008.
