I recently downloaded Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition to check it out, tried compiling a simple Hello World program, it compiled fine but when I press F5 to run the exe it gave me this error:

This application has failed to start because MSVCP90.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Reinstalled it, but that didn't fix the problem.


Help please

Have you tried restarting your computer?

That won't help it. I've had the same problem. In my case, reinstalling worked. I had to first uninstall Visual C++, .NET Framework 2.0 (VC++ 2005). When I reinstalled it, everything was alright.

Searched for msvcp90.dll, copied it to WINDOWS\system32,

That solved the problem, wasn't that easy , I had thought of this but wasn't sure where to paste the dlls, so posted in the MSDN forums and got this solution.

Thanks
