Project Dependencies

Hello again!

Now I have a problem with my application's dependencies. When I build my application in Release, the Dependency Walker shows that the EXE is dependent on MSVCR80.DLL. But I want my application to be dependent on MSVCRT.DLL. Is there a way to enforce use of MSVCRT.DLL instead of MSVCR80.DLL?

Thanks!

Which build of visual studio are you using?

Are you using VS2005, VS2003, etc..?

No that is not a supported configuration. The system version of the CRT is for applications that are part of the system only. There is no supported way to target that version of the CRT with the 8.0 version of the compiler. And in fact it will simply not work in the general case.

Could you elebrate on why you want to do that?

Thanks.

Because I want to make a program that runs on all OSes from Windows 95 without having to redistribute any DLL.

Have you found a way to do this yet ?

I'd really like to see VS2005 able to link to mscvrt.dll (like VS6 does)...

Can i be done in vs2003 ?

For now.. i'll stick with VS6...
