MSI to redistribute MS VS2005 CRT libraries 10.0.30319.1

The Firebird project is an open-source relational database management system that uses the SQL language.

If you're developing software with Firebird and you're using the MS Visual Studio 2005 compiler, you need to redistribute the CRT libraries in order for your application to run properly on other computers.

You need to redistribute msvcr80.dll, msvcp80.dll, and possibly also atl80.dll and mfc80.dll. It depends on which Visual Studio features you've used in your application.

Yes, redistributing these libraries is allowed under certain conditions. For example, you must distribute them only with your own software, and you must not modify them in any way.

You can't download the libraries separately. You need to have Visual Studio 2005 installed on your computer and extract the files from there.

Yes, there are several tools available that can extract the libraries from the Visual Studio 2005 installation files. One such tool is the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Redistributable Package (x86).

You need to include the CRT libraries in your software package and make sure they're installed on the user's computer along with your application. You can also use an installer program such as Inno Setup or NSIS to create an installation package.

No, you only need to redistribute the versions that match the compiler version you used to build your application. The same versions should work on all Windows operating systems.

The CRT libraries are dynamic-link libraries that provide essential runtime support for your application. Without them, your software may not run or may crash on other computers.

Your application may not run or may crash on other computers because the necessary runtime support is missing. Users may also get error messages indicating that certain DLL files are missing.
