Couldn't find MSVCR80.dll (required by...\OFFICE12\MSOXMLMF.DLL)

[PeteB]

This problem seems to be cropping up on computers that have the Office 12
Beta 2 installed. If an app is trying to write XML, it brings up an error
that says

"Executable 'C:\Projects\MyApp.exe' had the following unrecoverable error:
Couldn't find MSVCR80.dll (required by C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\MSOXMLMF.DLL) Please ensure that it is
installed."

On my machne, I have uninstalled Office 11 and installed Office 12 Beta 2.
I have .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. When I create a program that writes
to an XML file, this error pops up whenever it is running and tries to write
(but not read), and the program crashes. However, I can build this app into
a setup package and install it on a machine with Office 11, and it works
fine, as far as I can see.

So it seems like any writing to an XML file is trying to use a library on
the local machine supposed to be there in the Office 12 Beta 2 installation,
but it got lost somewhere, because I do not have it on my machine. Is there
a work-around or a fix for this?

Thanks, and I know this may not strictly be the correct forum, but it was
the closest I could find! :)
