VS 2008 - Link against older C runtime

Question

How can I compile using Visual C++ 2008 and link against an older version of the C runtime (I want version 7 instead of 9)?

Answer 1

I think what you have to do is find the Linker -> Input property page for your project and tell it to specifically ignore msvcrtd.dll / msvcrt.dll and then explicitly link to the version you want (full path). Not sure what will happen if they have the same name...
