Visual Studio 2008 64位部署项目未按预期部署64位VC90合并模块

Question

I am currently working on a 64 bit installer for a 64 bit binary for Microsoft Windows 2008. One of the prerequisites is the microsoft visual c++ 2008 runtime libraries and it cannot be installed using the Microsoft redistributable packages. I have learned around merge modules used into Microsoft Visual studio and have included these four :

Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86_x64.msm Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86_x86.msm policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86_64.msm policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86_64.msm

However when I attempt when I attempt to install the 64 bit installer on a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit box I get this error (using sxstrace.exe)

Is there something I'm not including in the package or some setting I'm not using?

Answer 1

这是因为找不到dll Microsoft.VC90.CRT.DLL ，它属于Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package ，您可以在此处下载该软件包，然后安装该软件包并进行其他尝试。

Answer 2

you should be able to find the merge modules in

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Merge Modules

(yes, even the 64 bit merge modules are in there)

if they're not then your install of 2008 is messed up.
