I wouldn't go as far as saying that msvcr80.dll is part of Windows. I have
Windows XP Pro Sp1a and I do not have msvcr80.dll. I do not have dot NET
either.

MS sez msvcr80.dll is Microsoft® C Runtime Library. Comes with Microsoft
SQL 2005 Server Enterprise and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

I do not doubt that msvcr80.dll is also included with dotNET.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
