RE: [SVN build 698, MFC] Info & Download
Eevon what are you talking about? Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) is about 4 MB. The same goes for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64). So what's the point of static linking? Is a 4 MB file that big?

Would you want to wait 20 minutes to download an emulator? That's how long 4 megs will usually take on 56k.

The vba executable itself can be packed to around 600 kilobytes (though even so, 2 megs size still is pretty small). Between 4 megs and much bigger ressources (such as sp1 redist) to download...

You need 2 things to run VBA-M:
1. DirectX End-User Runtimes (August 2008) Redist Pack, (84245536 bytes)
1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86), (4216840 bytes)

The other 2 dlls are included in the emulator package

Indeed. Usually they are quite bigger. But anyway. Having one independent .exe without any dependencies is always better. Now we need SP1, then it'll be SP2 and so on. And I bet next SP would be bigger.

You can greatly minimize the necessary download by using the Web-Update-Package, which only downloads the updated DLLs, instead of the whole Redist package for every supported OS.

Yes but if you have dual boot or if you format your pc frequently (within 2-3 months), then the redist is the best choice. But for God's sake, we live in 2008, 80MB are nothing these days.

I got the error earlier, that means you don't have the Microsoft C++ Runtime 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package

VC2008 SP1 runtime isn't required, the non SP1 runtime is.

However the non sp1 installer is broken (doesn't run post install cleanup) so just install the SP1 runtime anyway.

yeah? and?

you still need the VC2008 runtime, so just get the VC2008 SP1 installer.

I think he got his Service Packs mixed up. In this case, it'd be easy if you're not the most knowledgeable about these things.
