Visual Studio

[Niall 84]

This is probably an extremely stupid question, but.................

When I go to a list of my programs in the control panel it says
Microsoft visual c++, however when I go looking I cant find it.

I searched through the program files and it has 2 different MS visual
studio folders ( MS visual studio (14.5K) and MS visual studio 8
(1.2M)) but I still cant see where, or if I can use the c++ program
that's with it.

Any ideas anyone?

A Microsoft Office install will create the folders, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
Redistrib' in the Add\Remove list, enables applications developed using MS VC++ to
run on computers that don't have MSVC++ installed, kind of like the VB6.0 Runtime
Library. I think Windows may create a Visual Studio folder on installation, can't
be sure on that though, I know office does.

No problems, a Windows install wouldn't typically create the folders. Windows OEM
laptop versions\editions may create the Visual Studio folders depending on what is
installed with windows. That also applies with the VC++2005 redist' runtime
libraries.
