Inspiron 1720 wont install programs
Hello
I am trying to install Programs to my Inspiron 1720 running Vista.
When i open the installer it comes up with the error message
---------------------------
E:\Setup\rsrc\cod2.exe
---------------------------
Executable 'E:\Setup\rsrc\cod2.exe' had the following unrecoverable error:
Couldn't find library MSVCR80.dll (required by C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Backup\buShell.dll)
Please ensure that it is installed
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it or has any suggestions on where to get it rectified?
Many thanks

For whatever reason, a necessary DLL is no longer installed on your computer? All you need to do, is find the missing DLL (you'd find it on your OS CD/DVD), and copy it into your System32 folder.
As stated in the error message, the missing DLL is 'MSVCR80.dll' - but rather than trying to locate it on your OS CD/DVD... you can download it off one or other of the many websites which host DLL's.
DLL-Files have the file you need here.
Download it, copy it to your C:\Windows\System32 folder, and you'll be set ;)
Hey im trying to follow your advice, thanks for the quick responces its much appreciated.
However this comes up when i try to extract the fill to System32. I am the administrator.

WinZip

Error: Access is denied.
Cannot create C:\Windows\System32\msvcr80.dll.

The thread at the following link deals with much the same problem. Looks like you should contact Activision for a solution.
