cannot access a necessary file msvcr80.dll

I just did a normal Windows update. One of the 3 items was 2.0 .NET software.
When I run my Norton WinDoctor I keep seeing 10 program problems under
c:|WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\, all with the notice "cannot
access a necessary file msvcr80.dll"? I see such a new file in folder
c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a 1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd , but I guess it's pretty hidden from these programs?

This happens on both of our Thinkpads A31p, running XP Pro. Since we did
not download any special programs recently, I expect a lot of people soon
will have similar problems/complaints!

If I knew where msvcr80.dll was supposed to go, I could put it there!?

I had exactly the same problem (11/11/2005 21:30 EST) and can not find any
solution. I used Norton GoBack 4.02 to "undo" the update and will not attempt
to load it again until this problem be resolved.

Same here. Installed update .net v2.0. computer seemed sluggish on restart.
Ran Norton and found same problem. Removed and reinstalled update, same
results. 11/15/05. File is there but registry value must have a typo? 10
errors in Norton.

I had the same problem with Norton's Windoctor - I did a search for the file and
copied and pasted it to :\Windows\System32
Ran Windoctor again and it's okay.

Thanks

I'm no programmer, but I had the same problem today when running Norton
WinDoctor. I also read the other posts about this same problem but found
nothing worked for my computer. HERE is what worked for me. I have Windows
XP Home with SP2.

I used the search assistant to find where msvcr80.dll was stored on my
computer (c:\windows\WinnSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_*.*). I found three
dll's in that folder (msvcm80.dll....msvcp80.dll......msvcr80.dll). I copied
and pasted the three dll's (not the folder holding them) to the
c:\windows\system\ folder. In that folder was a list of standard dll's for
Windows. After adding these three dll's to this folder I found no errors
when running Norton Windoctor.

I got a feeling pasting these dll's has no impact on how Microsoft.Net
actually functions, but it makes Norton happy. I probably set myself up for
a major correction from a real programmer.......
