As far as I can see, Microsoft have created an intractable mess here. Their solution of "compile your whole program with the same CRT" completely misses the possibility that the "whole program" may consist of disparate separately- written and separately-compiled parts, and there may be no single person with the ability and/or legal right to compile and link the whole thing.

Hence, Microsoft's suggesting is entirely different these days: use .NET, and you won't have these versioning problems anymore.

I'm getting off-topic...
