What can I do if msvcr80.dll is missing?

Question

I have MS-Office 07 setup in my system. But it seems like if its one DLL got corrupted called msvcr80.dll. When I try to install office now, it says Setup cannot find Office.en-us\msvcr80.dll. Browse to a valid installation source, and then click Ok.

I got this error previously as well. But I downloaded this dll from internet and replaced it with mine. It worked perfectly, but I just lost that link of the website from where I got the dll. Many sites has this dll but not working for me. I dnt have CD of MS-Office right now. I have the setup in my system.

I reinstalled this and restarted my pc. But it still ask for the same file while installing MS-Office 07. Any reason?

I've improved my answer with links to all VC Redist packages. For x64 OS you really need x64 and x86 packages.

After installation of VC Redists, copy correct dll to your Setup
