Error _launching_ NSIS Menu

hey there, especially kichik 😉

with your help, i now successfully compiled current NSIS' cvs version, including NSIS Menu.

but i can't _launch_ it on my system!

i have ms platform sdk 2003 server r2 installed with all features turned on.
also i have installed ms visual c++ express 2005 with all features turned on.

nsis menu complains about "msvcr80.dll missing".

which package do i need to install to get that dll?

and why does nsis menu need a non-default runtime package? that may cause problems with many users...

and just as a hint: nsis menu executable has grown from 3xx kb (download version 2.24) to 6xx kb (self compiled cvs version)

msvcr80.dll is a very standard Visual C++ 2005 DLL. If it doesn't install it by default to the entire system, there's probably a redistributable laying around. And if not, it's on MSDN.

download, software, update, Microsoft, product, computer, PC, Windows, Office, server, MSN, Live, game, Xbox, security, driver, install, trial, preview, demo, popular


Size difference is because it's no longer UPX'ed.

What other things? Why it uses a "non-standard" DLL? It's only because you compiled it with Visual C++ 2005. Normal NSIS distributions are built with VC6.
