Hi all, I'm attempting to get software to run which requires some functions in MSVCP80 to be implemented.
You need to install msvc2005 redistributable runtime. The simplest way is using winetricks: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
Implementing all that is a huge waste of time.
Legally speaking, we should start implementing all of the functions in the Win32/Win64 API.
Louis:
If you feel that you have the technical capabilities and can understand the method of implementing code in a clean room environment, please go ahead and start working on this. Remember, test cases first that prove what the Win32/64 API does with this dll as implemented through Windows and then code the dll's functions. Remember: You cannot do this if you EVER looked at Windows code for this dll or attempt to reverse engineer it. There are many legal reasons for this, the biggest is that Microsoft can attempt to shutdown this project.
For now, Vitally's suggestion is what we are using to implement this dll's functionality.
