    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86), can i redistribute single files of it?

    Hi,

    until today i always forced users to download/install the
    complete package of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
    Redistributable Package (x86), but mostly my applications
    only need the msvcr90.dll to run. So my question here is
    if i can pack this file into my installer and redistribute it with
    my application. For my case it would be just fine if the
    dll would be in the same directory as the app is.

    Is it legal to redisitribute the single dll or do i have to
    pack the complete msi installer into my app installer,
    which makes the complete installer a huge package,...

    I didnt find any information until yet regarding my
    question in the web,...

    Regards

    K.
