Where to find VC_USR.msm and VC_STL.msm

[Mark D. Richter]

These are two merge modules for the C runtime. Is there a "legit" place
that Microsoft makes these available? MSDN? (Searching MSDN was not very
fruitful however.)

I am building in the VS 7.1 environment (C#) with a 3rd party merge
module that depends on VC_USR.msm and VC_STL.msm.

Many thanks.

If you've instsalled Visual Studio from the CDs, you should find the merge
modules in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\MergeModules

The merge module names you've listed are not the names that MS uses in the
original merge modules. You might need to contact the 4rd party to find out
just exactly what it is they're looking for. They should really be
supplying the VC merge modules that they depend on with their product.

The standard merge module names for VC7.1 are:

VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm (for the CRT)
VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm (for the STL)

I don't recall (and can't easily check at the moment) what the merge module
names for VC7 were.

Thanks, Carl... yeah, I tried the 7.1 merge modules... my 3rd party lib
didn't like either one. I got merge modules form the lib's developer
that worked. They are called VC_USR and VC_STL. I can't find them from a
"legit" source anywhere though. I no longer have my copy of VS7.0.
