Missing msvcr80.dll stops me from installing photoshop.

[greeneggsandham]

I can locate the missing dll file in winsxs location msvcr80.dll, but it's not in sys32, so i tried to copy & paste it to sys32 but this has no effect. I've googled myself to death now with no clear solution to this problem?

Any help would be greatly received.
Thanks.

if it helps, the only msvcr80.dll i can find on my system is in program files (x86)\adobe\adobe bridge cs4

try sticking it there good luck!

I'd say scan for malware. Reason being is that I have CS4 installed on x86 and there is no msvcr80.dll in my system32. Perhaps something got messy where it is causing the installer to look for a file it doesn't even want or need.

I dunno. Weird.

Here's some info - http://www.instant-registry-fixes.org/why-do-i-keep-receiving-msvcr80dll-missing-errors/

ah, but have you got one in your bridge folder?

Actually yeah. lol how can an app ask for a file it needs while installing when it is installing that file itself. Funny.

Maybe if he puts the version from Bridge folder in System32 will help?

Green, if you want to try, here's the copy from my Bridge folder.

it's incredible that adobe, whilst writing such excellent multimedia software, come out with some real lousy installers...

Is it a reinstall. For adobe you need to unregister it, there is a program on their site and reinstall.

Thanks everyone & thanks for the link. I'll see what happens when I put it in the bridge folder.

Where is the bridge folder in sys32 by the way?

 

[greeneggsandham]

I put the dll copy off torrentg in sys32 folder & photoshop still refuses to do anything? I click on the exe again & it just moans about the file not being present on my computer? Any good alternatives to photoshop.

Alternatives to Photoshop...so you didn't buy Photoshop?
Figures it didn't work.

* One who spent over $700-$1,000 on Photoshop is not going to go looking for alternatives.

 

[mickey megabyte]

maybe he's running the trial/demo?

the bridge folder is "program files (x86)\adobe\adobe bridge cs4"

so do you actually have it installed, and the problem occurs when you try to run the program?

or when you try to run the installer?

I have the trial off adobes site actually, if I like it I may buy it but id like to try it first.

It's not there because it will not install, so theres no folders associated with adobe. The secound I try & run the exe file the missing file dialog box pops right up & tells me dll is missing from my computer but it is in my syswow64 folder just not in the sys32 folder. I've tried to copy & paste it over to sys32 but that does not work?

i really don't know, i didn't have this problem while installing, and i'm not even sure that i had this file on my computer - as i've said, i only have this file in the aforementioned bridge folder, and that appeared after the install.

there really is no proper alternative to photoshop as far as i know, but i hear that the gimp and paint.net aren't bad - and they are free too!

Thanks for the responses mickey. I just installed my mates copy of cs3 which I can still trial for abit. I think it the missing dll file is something to do with microsoft's net framework from what I read.
