Description Ralf Habacker 2009-07-21 02:08:14 UTC 
Version:           4.2.95 (using Devel)
Compiler:          Visual Studio 2008 
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When updating KDE to unstable release 4.2.95 from a previous - Visual Studio 2005 based - release, the visual studio 2008 redistribution package will not be installed by default, because the 4.2.95 release configuration on http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/releases/unstable/4.2.95/config.txt uses 
for the visual studio 2008 redistribution package the same package name 'vcredist' as for the older Visual Stdudio 2005. 

To fix this issue 'vcredist' should be renamed to  '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.
