The reason why I need this is because I am writing a firefox extension, if I put the msvcp90.dll along with my dll, it will cause the firefox have a dll loading error because firefox tries to load the msvcp90.dll. Pls enlighten me, thanks! When we build a dll which depends on msvcp90.dll, is it possible to build the msvcp90.dll into our dll so that we don’t need to deploy the msvcp90.dll.

That really doesn’t seem to be likely. Purposefully crippling their compiler and/or runtime libraries simply just isn’t in the cards at Microsoft.
