What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running xdelta on a clean install of Windows 2003

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Program cannot execute due to missing dependencies (msvcr80.dll).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XDelta 3.0p on Windows 2003.

Please provide any additional information below.
Windows applications are meant to distribute their dependent runtimes
(msvcr80.dll). It would be nice if XDelta at least stated it required a
runtime and where to get it rather than just the binary (readme.txt?).

Another option (which I prefer) is to statically link to the C-runtime. This 
would 
make the xdelta EXE somewhat bigger but make it independent of the DLL.

I found some information on using WIX here:

I am trying to figure out how to statically link the .exe, it has so few 
dependencies
that I think this is ok.
