utility on x64 winpe image: side-by-side configuration is incorrect

[pankajtakawale]

I have VC8 built C utilty, when i try to run this utility from x64 WInPE, it gives me error:

"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more details"

After googling, i came to know that msvcr80.dll is absent on the x64 winPE, after copying msvcr80.dll, it still shows same error. there are other system dlls absent on x64 winpe like:

netplwiz.dll

clbcatq.dll

devmgr.dll

windowscodecs.dll

shdocvw.dll

apphelp.dll

query.dll

I also tried to execute vcredist_x64.exe from x64 WinPE (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291(VS.80).aspx)

for vcredist_x64.exe, it throws error: "System can not execute the specified program"

hi you are right.. How do we run vcredist in winpe? or how do we add or give msvcr80.dll to winpe?

also is msvcr80.dll needed only for projects built in VS2005 or is it independant of that.

Try putting the other VC8 .dll and manifests in the same folder as the utility you are trying to run
