I feel a little stupid asking this question, but I hope that this might be helpful to others as well.
Background: We/I are developing some software with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (VC9). We would like to provide the vcredist
along the software on the cd.
Now, I am used to ask google "download vcredist 2008 sp1" and usually it leads me to the following (also bookmarked) web pages:
I think I have downloaded different versions (9.0.30729.01 and later 9.0.30729.17) from that same URL as they came available. Today, only the .17 is available on that page. Now, a customer complained and told me that there is a 9.0.30729.6161 available, but I can't find it. The closest I could get was 9.0.30729.5677:
Is there ONE URL where I can always pull the newest version ?
Is there some kind of notification system (email list, rss-feed, ...) that informs me about a new vcredist ?
