Details

See bug 351949 comment #27 for details. This is important for a developer working on WinVista because WinVista supposed to require SP1 to use VS2005. Workaround: use a compiler included in Windows SDK for Windows Vista. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C2B1E300-F358-4523-B479-F53D234CDCCF&displaylang=en
Mozilla.org builds ship with the DLL's for VC8 (non-SP1), see http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/VC8_Build_Instructions#Creating_a_Redistributable for how to set that up in a build environment.
