Visual Studio 2003 Merge Modules


I am using Visual Studio 2005 to make an install. The application has a dependency on a DLL that was built with MFC 7.1 (from Visual Studio 2003).

Are there merge modules for MFC 7.1 or other redistributables like there are for MFC 8? Where could they be found?


Solution

  • These merge modules are usually located in %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Merge Modules.

    Look for these files:

    • vc_user_crt71_rtl_x86_---.msm (has msvcr71.dll)
    • vc_user_mfc71_rtl_x86_---.msm (has mfc71.dll)
    • vc_user_stl71_rtl_x86_---.msm (has msvcp71.dll)
    • vc_user_mfc71_loc_rtl_x86_---.msm (has mfc71*.dll localized versions)
