    Having a problem with DLL msvcr80.dll

    Each time when I want to start Notepad++ I receive the following error message regarding msvcr80.dll:

    "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

    [other two entries were done without registration. This one is with registration..]

    Well believe me I tried a lot of things including deinstall and install again of Notepad++. Also using the latest version of Notepad++ now which is 4.7.5.

    For some reason there is a problem with this dll. As far as I can see this dll lives in the following two folders on my hard drive:
    - c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd\msvcr80.dll   01-12-2006
    - c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700\msvcr80.dll  23-09-2005

    The first one is the one dated 01-12-2006 which is currently being used. The size of both files are equals only the dates are different. I tried copying across the 23-09-2005 on top of the 01-12-2006, but this didn't succeed because the 01-12-2006 is currently in use.

    Also copying the dll to the \Windows\System32\ directory or to Notepad++ folder itself didn't help.

    So please guys, does somebody have the solution to this frustrating problem?

    Thanks,
    Hugo

      Recompiling the program with;

      <file name="msvcr80.dll"/>

      In the manifest solves the problem for me.

      Is there a reason to post this message three times?

      If you wanted to add something, why not do in in the same thread?

      Now, if anyone answers, where will it be? You even run the "risk" of getting the same, similar or completely different answers in any of the threads.

      Flooding the forum is also a frustrating. Why do you do it?

      You probably need the microsoft visual C++ 2005 redistributable.

      Do you installed some additional plugins? It seems you did. If not, please try to find out which one creates this message. Therefore go into the Notepad++\plugins folder and move one by another into a temporary folder. If you found that one that needs the *.dll please post it here immediately.

      Thanks in Advance

    As a general comment (from another thread):
    For me "textfx characters" is causing this issue.
    (but not if I open notepad++ through the context menu)
    It was not showing the error anymore since that plugin was removed.

    Since it is no longer maintained there's nothing you can do about it.
