Hi teachers,
I am a geek that always want to find out the principle.
Today I have a new problem:
After installing the VC2005SP1 runtime in WinXP SP3,
in the registery
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Installations",
there are items like
"x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_x-ww_44262b86",
and, there are sub item
"downlevel_manifest.8.0.50727.6195" and "downlevel_payload.8.0.50727.6195"
in item "x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_x-ww_44262b86".
So, things that I want to know are:
What is the use of these registery item like "downlevel_manifest.8.0.50727.6195"?
What program will use them?
What is the meaning of "downlevel" in registery there?
What will be abnormal if I delete the items like "downlevel_manifest.8.0.50727.6195"?
Thanks!
