I've seen this dialog for a very long time on Vista with debug builds of Fennec. It's a platform issue, AFAIK. I'd not seen it with a release build, however.

why can't we gracefully downgrade to msvcr80.dll?

It doesn't work that way. I think we just need WIN32_REDIST_DIR set in the mozconfig to get the VC9 runtime DLLs packaged.

Comment on attachment 402918 [details] [diff] [review] set WIN32_REDIST_DIR on win32 desktop fennec builds You can just "export WIN32_REDIST_DIR=..." since this is picked up by configure and then saved in autoconf.mk. This should do the trick.

Are the ramifications -- on bundle size, start up and memory foot print -- been looked at before making this decision to package the DLL ?

a) Desktop builds of Fennec are, as far as I'm aware, not a priority, just a nice to have for testing. b) You don't have a choice, you need a CRT. You can't run the build without it.
