Microsoft .NET 2.0, mscvr80.dll, and WinDoctor
I still use Norton Utilities on my home computer, though I have moved on and no longer use Norton Antivirus. Trend-Micro PC-cillin is much better.
If you have WinDoctor and the Microsoft .NET v2.0 framework, and have noticed that it reports mscvr80.dll is missing on your system, fret not. This is a bug in WinDoctor (who knows when they'll fix it), and should not be cause for you to do anything rash. And here we define "rash" as doing any of the following:
- Do not download msvcr80.dll from dll-files.com. It's not the correct version (actually, it's a beta), and won't work.
- Do not copy the file from its proper location into C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727. This can cause future, very unpredictable problems when/if Microsoft decides to upgrade the dll. Like them or not, M$ has gone to great lengths to eliminate dll-hell, but only if you don't fark with your system.
Almost forgot: To eliminate the nagging red thingie in WinDoctor, simply pull up the detailed list of errors. Right click each error and select "Ignore ..." (whatever it says). Thence forward, these "errors" willst no longer vex.
