Can't launch Vector Thrust. MSVCP80.dll not found (Games : Vector Thrust : Forum : Support : Can't launch Vector Thrust. MSVCP80.dll not found) Locked

I'm having a problem with launching the game.
The game could launch before the newest update though. (V 0.2103)

There was an error message saying that MSVCP80.dll not found.

I already installed the newest Visual C++ Redistributable with SP1 recently and copy-pasted my MSVCP80.dll from my WinSxS folder to System32 doesn't work either; it still displays a Runtime error message

Lemme know if you need me to send ogre.log to help sort this thing out, TimeSymmetry. :)

The game could launch before the newest update though.

That’s strange because these last two updates were mostly bug fixes and most of the game was kept intact. Also there was no change in the game that could possibly create this kind of issues.

Either way, tell me your OS and I’ll look if I can recreate the same kind of issue.

Considering the name of the dll I assume it is related with the visual studio 2005.
But even if you have installed the redistribute Sp1, don’t forget about this update:

My OS : Windows XP SP2

Alright, I'll install the C++ redistributable from the Microsoft site.
Thanks, TimeSymmetry. :)

I'll let you know if something happens again.

Edit:
I've been doing research on what's going on with the dll file.
I'll reinstall the old Visual C++ 2005 redist and then apply the SP1 update. Think I need 2 restarts before it could work. I'll keep you informed. It might be my OS doing the mess.

Update: I did all of the above and still no luck. Need me to send the log file "ogre.txt" ?

I already tested 3 of the patches and found the following results:

Testing results :

Vector Thrust
==========================
V. 2100 = Works Properly
V. 2103 = Works Properly
V. 2104 = MSVCP80.dll not found error, can't launch the game. Seems like the .exe file in the output folder needs to be fixed.

For now I'll stick with playing with V. 2103 til the problem is fixed.

Thanks again, TimeSymmetry. :D
