FYI - the file was on your hard drive, just not where Norton WinDoctor could
find it - its location should be:
%windir%\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd
and should include these 3 files:
msvcr80.dll, msvcp80.dll and msvcm80.dll

Dear Admiral Q,
You are absolutely right. But my original searches in Win. Explorer and then
with the XP Search did not turn that up. Seems to me that it should have???
Anyway, I downloaded the file and put it in C:/Win./Microsoft.NET/Framework/
v2.0.50727, where WinDoc could definitely see it.

Thanks for your contribution, tho; another bit of info learned.

Hello everyone,

My name's Martyn Lovell, and I'm the development lead of the team that produces msvcr80.dll [The Visual C++ Libraries team]. This thread contains a number of innaccuracies that I'd like to correct.

First, Norton WinDoctor is wrong. It incorrectly reports that msvcr80 is missing when in fact it is correctly installed in the WinSxS directly in the windows. folder. If you own WinDoctor, you should report this bug to them so that they get it fixed.

Second, this website (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr80) is definitely not the right place to get msvcr80.dll. You should get your copy of msvcr80.dll from the same place that you got the application that uses it. msvcr80.dll is distributed with applications.

Third, that website actually has a beta 2 copy of msvcr80.dll, which won't work for the released versions of the .NET runtime and may cause problems if used. If you have this copy on your system, you should remove it.

Fourth, you should not put msvcr80.dll in Anyway, I downloaded the file and put it in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727. The DLL does not belong in there, and may cause problems if used from that location.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have more questions, as I don't read this forum regularly.

Or rather,

Norton WinDoctor feels that msvcr80.dll is missing in the new NET 2.0...

Hello all and thanks for trying to solve this problem.

Hello Mr Martyn Lovell and special thanks to you for giving us all this valuable input on how to solve this problem.

Now, let's try to focus on how to solve the problem.

What worked for me was to:

Do a search for msvcr80.dll on the disk that you have windows.
In my case, C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd\msvcr80.dll

Copy the file and paste it in the System32 directory
In my case, C:\WINDOWS\system32

Now Norton is pleased and I am pleased.
