windvd.exe vs. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

[cummie]

Dear forumsreader,

I have an ugly problem/trouble with my "Corel WinDVD 9 Plus without BD" including patch
DVD9.0.14.106_62431PlusNoBD.iUpgrade.exe.

The installation itself worked fine under a windows XP SP3
(including latest MS-hotfixes,latest MOBO-,GPU- and Sounddrivers, directX runtime from august 2008).

The installprocess had fully admin rights.

The problem:
On executing the application it fails with an exception in mfc80.dll.



AppName: windvd.exe AppVer: 9.0.14.106 ModName: mfc80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.1833 Offset: 0004c0f3


On the whole system I found in

c:\windows\winsxs\

x86_Microsoft.VC80.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.1833_x-ww_2fd6f5db
x86_Microsoft.VC80.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_3bf8fa05
x86_Microsoft.VC80.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_dec6ddd2

Three different version from the mfc80.dll, but windvd.exe deals always with the highest 8.0.50727.1833.


To track down this fault, I installed on the same computer a virtual system with SUNs xVM virtualbox and a plain
windows XP SP3 inside with latest hotfixes and direct X runtime from august2008.

In this virtually environement I installed the "Corel WinDVD 9 Plus without BD" including patch
DVD9.0.14.106_62431PlusNoBD.iUpgrade.exe .

AND in this virtually session windvd starts without any hassle and I played a mounted DVD .

WOOT whats the difference????????

The difference:

In the virtually session I found only two mfc80.dll:

x86_Microsoft.VC80.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_3bf8fa05
x86_Microsoft.VC80.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_dec6ddd2

AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA what an unholy evil crawls out there....


With the installation of "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008" I got the third mfc80.dll into my real system.
In my opinion windvd.exe cant deal with the microsoft feature winsxs ... and I am still on search for a solution.

Sincerly yours,

New input:

The fault is hidden in the files windvd.exe and the WinDVD.exe.manifest

With this content in the manifest (compiled into the exe too)
the OS serves always highest available version of this dll......

The developer need to fix this...

[cummie]

DONT install vcredist_x86.C++2008.exe (delivered by some newer game setups).
DONT install Windows Visual Studio 2008.

Otherwise you will run into my troubles with the exception fault.


I opened a support ticket on the corel site, but they anwered that they arent interested in tickets about trial verions.....

Sincerly yours,

michael

I have a full version (bought WinDVD9+BluRay for its HD DVD support) and got the hint to download http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... 87-X86.exe. It actually helped, but only to get me the next error (german wording):
