That’s what I thought initially when I was looking at your program dll dependency.

On a clean install of winxp with all the updates.

I've installed Visual Studio Redistribute (ie vcredist_x86.exe) which populated 
the msv*90.dll, msvc*80.dll

Rechecked the dependency and it was green light for dll dependency  but still 
bombed out until I installed quicktime.

Hi Ashley,

I think I have the answer.  To be able to use the MSVC redistributable DLLs, it 
isn't enough to have msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll in the execution directory (or 
path).  There is more than one way to solve this, but the easiest way to install 
the redistributable DLLs is to run the appropriate version of vcredist (for the 
compiler version).  In this case (for MSVS 8 2005) the program to run is 
vcredist_x86.exe, which is here:

Presumably the Quicktime installer does something similar.

Cheers
