msobj80.dll not found in the required directory

[Luis_Solis]

I recently updated to version 11.1 (w_cprof_p_11.1.051.exe) and had some problems with msobj80.dll (fatal error LNK2023...). I read a previous thread that helped me solve the problem

I was surprised that in the directory
C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
there was no file msobj80.dll !!
How is it possible that this error might occur?

I downloaded msobj80.dll at http://www.my-dll.com/ and copy it in
C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
and the problem appears to be resolved

That URL refers to VS2005, unlike the original post in this thread. I've never seen this file missing in VS2008, but there too the SP1 is well worth installing.

I would be quite astonished to see VS2008 complain about MSOBJ80.DLL as that is a VS2005 file.
