Cannot find redistributable .cat file..?
-
Having inherited someone else's code to maintain (we've all been there), I am having a problem with the (3rd party, non-MS) installer creator. Specifically, it includes two files that I cannot find, which are: Microsoft.VC90.CRT.cat Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest From what I can tell, they are Microsoft VC++ redistributables, which should be installing to the folder "C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT(...)". For some reason, I cannot find these files (.cat and .manifest) anywhere; Google and MSDN searches have not turned them up. If anyone can clue me in to where I can obtain them, it would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

Look in the "Redist" folder inside your Visual Studio installation in "Program Files".
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT

I did find that folder, and it contained the .manifest file, but not the .cat file. I don't know why it would be missing, perhaps something is wrong with my VS install? Thank you for your help.

Like you, I found the .manifest file on my machine at work. But here I'm using VS2008 Express. At home I have the standard edition, so I'll check tonight for it. Aren't .cat files usually used for installation, though? If you have the Visual Studio installation disc handy, I'd search there first. -Nope, not on the home machine either. Sorry about that.
