I installed ISC Bind DNS server (http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.6.0-P1/BIND9.6.0-P1.zip) on XP machine in C:\named directory and would like to use it's DNS tools dig.exe & nslookup.exe, which are under c:\named\bin.

However, the dig.exe and nslookup.exe keeps crashing and it points to msvcr80.dll is the culprit. It looks to me like these executable probably need a specific version of msvcr80.dll

I searched Windows directory and found 3 msvcr80.dll files

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd\msvcr80.dll 9/22//2005
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700\msvcr80.dll 12/1/2006
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.3053_x-ww_b80fa8ca\msvcr80.dll 7/5/2008

The Windows debugger points to that v8.0.50727.3053 is the one causing problem.

How am I able to fix this problem? I wonder whether this dig.exe and nslookup.exe is looking for a specifc version of msvcr80.dll
