Re: When were scanf_s functions introduced?

I guess instead of adding a specific CRT dependency to my deployment
project using a Merge Module (.. VC80_CRT_x86.msn in this case),
I could use a Prerequisite approach, and select "Visual C++ Runtime Libraries"
which I gather just merges the bootstrapper redistributable vcredist_x86.exe
into my deployment project? This will only dnld CRT and related if not already
available on target machine.
This has the benefit of adding ALL CRT and MFC side-by-side assemblies
and installs them (instead of my subset included in a single msn above).
Is this correct?

My knowledge of doing complicated MSI setup apps is fairly limited, but I'll try to answer these as best I can.


2- This depends on your setup environment, really. Assuming these are Internet-distributed installs, you could use
the route that Microsoft goes for many of their setups (i.e. service packs, SDK setup, etc): have two installers, one
that is a "full install" (includes everything and will be usable even on computers without a network connection) and
one that is a "web install" (checks dependencies and only downloads those that are missing, but obviously requires an
active network connection on the machine you are installing on). If you are doing media-based installs (e.g. physical
CDROM or something similar), then the amount of space for the CRT installer is probably not going to matter much and
it would be worth just always shipping it.
