Visual Studio 9.0 Runtimes leave files in C:\\

Post by mwhouser »

Has anyone else had issues with IA8 and Visual Studio 9.0 Runtime leaving the following files in C:\\?

VC_RED.MSI
VC_RED.cab
eula.1028.txt
eula.1031.txt
eula.1033.txt
eula.1036.txt
eula.1040.txt
eula.1041.txt
eula.1042.txt
eula.2052.txt
eula.3082.txt
globdata.ini
install.exe
install.ini
install.res.1028.dll
install.res.1031.dll
install.res.1033.dll
install.res.1036.dll
install.res.1040.dll
install.res.1041.dll
install.res.1042.dll
install.res.2052.dll
install.res.3082.dll
vcredist.bmp

Has anyone been able to fix it? Unfortunately, we are failing certification because of this.

This can be reproduced easily.

1. Start a new project in IA8.
2. Go through the wizard choosing all defaults.
3. Add "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 9.0 (Includes ATL and MFC)"
4. Build a Single file install.
5. Install on a fresh computer that does not have the runtimes installed.

The files will be there in C:Including the SP1 version of the runtimes does not appear to have this issue.

I have put a sample project at the link below which demonstrates the issue.

Yes, I had it as well but if you chose vc90++ SP1 then it's ok.
