There is no redistributable available for the debug runtime of Microsoft Visual Studio. This article shows how to make these runtime available without having to install Visual Studio SP1 in your machine.

The needed runtime libraries are stored in the "c:\Windows\WinSxS" folder. We copied the required files and directories from a machine with Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installed to another machine and it worked fine.

The files to copy are:

from WinSxS
x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_5490cd9f
from WinSxS\Policies
x86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_x-ww_09e017b4
from WinSxS\Manifests
x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_5490cd9f.cat
x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_5490cd9f.manifest

These files are available in msvc-8.0sp1 shared-resource:

msvc-8.0sp1\platform\x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT-762_x.zip
