FIX: The Msdia80.dll file is installed in the root folder of the boot drive when you install the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package by using the Vcredist_x64.exe file or the Vcredist_ia64.exe file

Move the file. Register it.

Safe to do.

but i think this is strange. i've register it, but that file came back again. and now i have 2 files of msdia80.dll so i deleted the second

one in c:\ <== i've deleted this
and another one in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC <=== ive registered this one

Hi, why what problem is it causing your machine at the moment.

google i love u

hey, ive found the solution!! i just reinstalled microsoft c++ redistributable 2008 SP1 for both x64 and x86.

now i have msdia on the right folder. the installer makes it itself

some programs made msdia80.dll on the main drive like c:\ or whatever the drive letter. ATI drivers, Symantec products, Cyberlink products, etc. is one of them.

EDIT: btw, for ati driver, i need to install c++ redistributable 2005 SP1 x64 so msdia80.dll will remains at c:\
anyhow, ill do fix for it http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927665

   Note

currently im struggling for ATI drivers, because ppl here from http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/25760-desktop-freezes-after-display-turned.html suggesting me to install a driver for my video card

i actually wonder about that being totally accurate as i also have the msdia80.dll in the proper folder "VC" on the c drive......

Don't mean to necro an old thread but I have 2 of them.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\VC
C:\

The one in my root directory has the Hidden and Archive attributes whereas the one in the common directory only has the Archive attribute.

Delete the one in the root folder ("C:\"). It shouldn't be there.

too bad the ms KB article isn't much good for me as the dll is in the root of my d drive.

anyone have a fix for that?

i am sure it is related to some of Nikon software and the way most of who set up for photography properly will setup all temp files and caches to be on a seperate drive.

what about the second one that doesn't go to root of C but the root of D which is my data drive?

64 w7 professional here and 2005 reditrbutale put it there which is installed on my machinefrom Nikons software NX2, ViweNX, Nikonn Transfer.

It may be hostile

I've found a copy of the file on the root of my E: drive. It is not what it claims to be.

Internally it says it is version 8.00.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600), but the file is 904,704 bytes instead of the 625,152 bytes it should be. Check the file size against the one in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC. If they don't match you may have a bogus file.

I think that in my case this one is malware-related.

Hi,

i have the same problem. Two partition on my PC. On C Windows 7 Professional (x64) are installed and D is my data partition.

As you can see from the attached print screen msdia80.dll can be found in both partitions. What should i do?

See this The Msdia80.dll file is installed in the root folder of the boot drive when you install the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package by using the Vcredist_x64.exe file or the Vcredist_ia64.exe file

 

[Jimmys83]

I copy the file into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC folder.
Then i typed the following command regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC\msdia80.dll and got the message in regsvr32.jpg.

I then tried to download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update but i noticed that there three options to download as shown in download.jpg.

What should i do?

Got that msdia80.dll in root C:\, v8.0.50727.762 (884ko)...

and in
-C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC \... folder in version 8.0.50.727.4053 (627ko)
-C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC \amd64... folder in version 8.0.50727.4053 (894ko).
