I am running a program that I built in Visual Studio 2010 which uses a third party DLL "ABC.DLL". I am on Windows 7 64-bits.
However, it fails to run due to one DLL. When running Dependency walker on this DLL, i get the following error:
Error: The Side-by-Side configuration
information for "…\ABC.DLL" contains
errors. The application has failed to
start because its side-by-side
configuration is incorrect. Please see
the application event log or use the
command-line sxstrace.exe tool for
more detail (14001).
with missing dependencies MSCVR80.DLL and MSVCP80.DLL.
I have tried all the solutions in this following topic but I still am getting the same error.
The ABC.DLL is a third party library that was built in Visual Studio 2005, and I have no way to rebuild it.
I have installed Visual Studio C++ 2005 Redistributable, and tried copying the DLL's taken from another computer (since I do not have them in my computer) and nothing works.

You need to look at the manifest in the DLL to determine which version of the Visual C++ runtime you need to install. There are several of them out there; and chances are, you are just using the wrong one.
There are five installers I have found so far.
If the manifest specifies a version that isn't in the list above, you need to contact the makers of the DLL in question. They should be able to provide you with an installer.
