Talk:VC 8.0 Redistributables

Thanks for your posting, I used your code to look to see if Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributables are installed.

They have a different key than your example, but after finding the appropriate key it worked fine.

I used REGEDIT, then looked in SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/UNINSTALL, then browsed the entries until I found the VC++ 2005 Redistributable:

My key was: A49F249F-0C91-497F-86DF-B2585E8E76B7

using that key it works great. I needed this for a project that was using SkinCrafter with the installed program and they require the VC++ libraries to function properly.

Again, thanks for posting your example, without it I'm not sure if I would have figured out how to make it work.

Same here, my key is {A49F249F-0C91-497F-86DF-B2585E8E76B7} too. So what would be correct - check for both keys?

Depends on whether you want to check for VC8 (VS2005), or VC8 SP1. See new "Registry Keys" section below. ZeBoxx 16:20, 17 July 2008 (PDT)
