Description Ralf Habacker 2009-07-21 02:05:25 UTC 
Version:           4.2.95 (using Devel)
Compiler:          Visual Studio 2008 
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When update KDE to unstable release 4.2.95 from a previous, Visual Studio 2005 baseds installation, the visual studio 2008 redistribution package will not be installed. 

This issue is caused by the 4.2.95 release configuration http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/releases/unstable/4.2.95/config.txt. 

For visual studio 2008 redistribution package it uses the same package name 'vcredist' as for the former Visual Stdudio 2005. 

Instead it should use 'vc90-redist' or 'runtime-vc90' in relation to 'runtime-mingw'. 

This issue is a show stopper, because *no* kde application could be started without installing vc90 runtime manually.
