           Summary: kde applications do not run because of not installed
                    vcredist package
           Product: unknown
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ralf.habacker at freenet.de


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.
