How to install VC80CRT debug runtimes without full visual studio 2005?


I can't run a debug sdk application because it requires both VC 8 and VC 9 versions of the CRT. But it only requires visual studio 2008 for plugin dev, which is what I need.

How do I install the debug runtimes from 2005 on to a Windows7 machine? I can't figure out how to make them run app local nor can I copy anything into the winSxS folder without a trusted installer.


Solution

  • You must install visual studio to get the debug CRT. This will be moot as soon as we don't need 2005 or 2008 again.
