Problem with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition Sp1

Question

Hello,

After several problems with the link between a Windows Form and Fortran, I decided to install the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition SP1, these problems were solved but now appear a new one. As I install Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition SP1 I have in my computer the folder.

..\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700 where the aplication get the dll msvcm80.dll,msvcp80.dll and msvcr80.dll

So I have a "circular" problem,

If I don't install the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition SP1, I can't link with fortran, but If I install it and the conexion begins to work, nobody without the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition SP1 (So without .NET 2005) can run the application, because there is no way to install these new versions of the dlls without installing the service pack.

There is any redistributable package that microsoft is going to release? or there is anyway to install only the dlls that I need?

Thanks in advance

You need your users to install the Visual C++ redistributable - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en

Alternately, if your install program of choice can use merge modules, there are merge modules for this.
