How to remove, reinstall and/or find info about Visual Studio 2008 hotfixes?

The main culprit for causing different behavior in native C++ apps would probably be: KB958357.

The main culprit for causing different behavior in native C++ apps would probably be: KB958357 This seems to be an earlier version of what is now KB962219. Details are available in this posting on the Visual C++ Team Blog: blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/12/17... This hotfix actually fixes 5 bugs: function::swap() was broken by the Small Functor Optimization in VC9 TR1 (the Feature Pack). This broke vector> in VC9 SP1."Broken" meant "compiling but crashing".

Vector> nonconformantly required X to have a default constructor. (This is a specific example of a general bug: vector>, vector>>, etc.Were also affected. ) vector> nonconformantly required X and Y to have default constructors.

(This is a specific example of a general bug, see above.) vector> nonconformantly required X to have a default constructor. Random distributions were broken, triggering infinite loops and emitting bogus results. Those look like sufficient changes to cause differing behavior, but it all depends on your code.

See if installing the latest version of that hotfix on each machine resolves the discrepancies you're seeing.

Thanks! This fixed it! – jwfearn Apr 8 '09 at 22:36.

I'm not sure how much of a help this is but here is the information for the various hot fixes 948484 - Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Design-Time Components for x64 953256 - Visual Studio Team Explorer SP1 958357 - Appears to be a hot patch for TR1 after Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is installed Based on the service pack details it looks like one of the following could be the differences between the machines TR1 Hotfix: blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/12/17... One machine has Team Explorer and the other does not The obvious one to throw out for completeness: one x86 the other x64.

Thanks! This was very helpful. – jwfearn Apr 8 '09 at 22:37.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
