msvcr90d.dll is missing from your computer

Question

I know this question is being asked all over the places. But here is my problem. I tried to compile a program using wxWidgets with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. When I tried to run, it gives me the error,

"your program cant run because msvcr90d.dll is missing from your computer."

The thing is I have that file in `

"C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.debugcrt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_96748342450f6aa2"

folder as well as I have it in

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT"

folder as well. I was wondering why my program cannot find that file. If anyone knows the reason, please help me how to fix this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I tried researching a lot but nothing showed up.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Copy msvcr90d.dll into C:\Windows\System32, then your issue will solve.

Answer 2

I think this is a duplicate of MSVCR90D.dll not found in debug mode with Visual C++ 2008, which does have a solution that works for me.

The solution that worked for me was to copy both msvcr90d.dll and Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT.manifest to the same directory as the executable.

I got these files come from a machine that had Visual Studio 2008 installed from this directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT\
