I 
added 
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50215.4652_x-ww_a12cf373
to my system path (so all users would access it) and it apparently made no 
difference in my tests
yes, I looked fro the file and pasted the directory name in rather than 
using the one that worked on your machine, apparently it's in the same 
place on mine.
