    Description

      The documentation in this link:

      http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/deployment-windows.html#visual-studio-2005-onwards

      states:

      "There are two ways to include the run time libraries: by bundling them directly with your application or by installing them on the end-user's system. To bundle the run time libraries with your application, copy the directory

      <Visual Studio Install Path>\VC\redist\<Architecture>\Microsoft.VC80.CRT

      into the folder where your executable is, so that you are including a Microsoft.VC80.CRT directory alongside your application's executable."

      Frequently it does not work to simply copy over the runtimes directory, so we should not suggest this as a deployment method. An example where it does not work is when using VS 2008 with SP1. Then the application will always depend on the original runtimes and hence deploying the ones for SP1 will not work.
