MSVCRT.DLL

 
Name MSVCRT.DLL (Microsoft Visual C++ Run Time library)
Manufacturer Microsoft
Release 6.00.8047.2
Time Stamp Thursday, February 19, 1998
Size 248KB (126KB compressed)
Description All programs written in MS Visual C++ have some of this code. A few programs, however, link it in statically, so they do not require this DLL (but most don't).  This library provides some very basic features for programmers, such as tools to compare strings, and do math (sin/cos/etc). Most of the stuff in here is so simple you'd think the computer could do it all in one instruction, but actually, computers are pretty dumb.  You almost certainly have this on your computer already, although it may be an earlier version.

To install this DLL, 

  1. download the zip file,
  2. decompress it into a temporary location,
  3. move the resulting DLL to the system directory under your windows directory (c:\windows\system on most computers),
  4. and delete the zip file.
