How to move File msdia80.dll in C drive ?

[Franko]

I have a small file called msdia80.dll which is at the root of my partition D for my documents.
After searching on the net, I see the need for this file in a directory in the partition C or is the OS. I checked and there is but the size is different = S
Can i deleted the partition D ?

Thanks

To work around this problem, move the Msdia80.dll file to the Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC folder. Then, type the following command at a command prompt to register the Msdia80.dll file:
regsvr32 driver:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC\msdia80.dll

I searched registry for the dll and found it listed under only one path (other than the dll registration path which was the drive where I
found the file). On my system that is: *c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\Debugger.* There was no copy off the dll under that path so I copied it there and then ran the workaround from MS. Ie: *regsvr32 "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\Debugger\ms\msdia80.dll"*.

What is the complete fix? non temporary workaround, work it out long term fix.

Please read the article that will clear things for you here: The Msdia80.dll file is installed in the root folder of the boot drive when you install the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package by using the Vcredist_x64.exe file or the Vcredist_ia64.exe file

RegSvr32

The module "driver:\Program" failed to load

Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The specified module could not be found.
