I'm using Firefox current version 9.0.1 Every time it launches, my (XP) system throws the following 3 SideBySide errors in quick succession. (XP Pro - SP1)

1. Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

2. Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

3. Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\browsercomps.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Following:

Microsoft VisualC++ 2008 Redistrbutable - x86 9.0.30729.17

Is this problem the same as Bugzilla # 713167  ? Any resolution ? Thanks! -W

Most likely.

The problem has been resolved in Firefox 10 which is due for release within a few days. You can also try the prerelease Firefox 10 beta: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/

With Firefox 9, the problem may be either a missing C runtime 8.0 Visual C++ 2005 SP1 or particular versions of .Net Framework (please see comment 33 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713167 )

Thank you. I'll look forward to it. Just for my own knowledge.... Would not Microsoft VisualC++ 2008 Redistrbutable - x86 9.0.30729.17 actually be newer than Virtual C++ 2005 SP1?

Also. I don't remember either Virtual C++ or Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803) being installed when I formatted and set up the machine. (FYI auto updates turned OFF at install). Does Firefox add them as needed? I don't think Office 2000 added them - though I might be wrong there? Thanks -W (yes, I know it's an older setup - but usually very stable - I have 3 of these machines)

VisualC++ 2008 Redistrbutable - x86 is newer. I think in this particular case Firefox was expecting the older C runtime version 8.0 in a predetermined system folder.

I think usually Windows Installer updates would be provided by 'Optional' Windows updates or by an application itself. C runtimes other than the default in the OS may have to come from an application or would have to be manually installed.
