Requirements of a Setup.exe deployment program-Collection of common programming errors

If a user installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) onto a Win98 PC, would my program, built in VS2010, be able to call the code in the dll’s?

I guess the answer is going to be no.

I think there are things you can do to get the newer compiler to link to older libraries – but I wouldn’t expect it to be a supported

scenario, and it’s likely to be more trouble than it’d be worth.
