Visual Studio error with mfc90.dll etc

[folderann]

I re-installed Visual Studio (MSVS) 2008 after I installed Windows 7
Pro on a machine I had running Vista Pro. I did a clean Win7 install,
not an upgrade.

To my surprise my MSVS 8.0 reinstall installed MSVS 9.0 . Anyway I
believe MSVS 2009 was installed. The only deviation from normal
installation is that I put the installation on a separate partition in
it's own program files folder.

To the Point: When I run an VC++ MFC application from the OS , I get
the following error:

"The ordinal 14918 could not be located in the dynamic link library
mfc90d.dll."

When I compile/link rebuilt all in MSVS 9.0 (vc++ - MFC),I got errors
about mfc90d). I noticed the mfc90d.dll was not in System32, so I
copied it to system32. As I resolve errors there, I seem to get more.

MY Questions:
Is this anticipated behavior or should I uninstall and re-install ?

Is there a quick fix for the the error generationg this program
message ?

Many thanks for any ideas?

MSVS 2008 is version 9.0 of the studio. MSVS 2010 is version 10 so I
think this is expected since the previous release of VS was 2005 and
IIRC the DLLs were version 8.x with 7.x never having been publicly
released.

I would probably uninstall and try a fresh install and run the
installer as Administrator since Win7's directory permissions might be
getting in the way of the library build process. I don't recall having
issues with it in VS 2008 or VS2010, however. I don't know where it
stuffs the installation logs, if it writes any.

Thanks for your thoughtful answer. Before I did a re-install, I
figured I'd try an runas admin on MVS 08, something I had neglected to
do. The app compiled/linked perfectly. I "think" that did it -tho I
have to confess that I got a little lost in my chain of trials and
errors..
