ROOT complaining missing msvcprt.lib after the reinstallation of VC++2008 express

I have to reinstall my VC++ 2008 but after that ROOT complains missing "msvcprt.lib". I check my VC++ lib and can only find "msvcrt.lib and msvcrtd.lib". The following website shows how to get the "msvcprt.lib" for VC++2003:

http://root.cern.ch/root/Procedure/Procedure%20to%20install%20the%20free%20Microsoft%20Visual%20C.htm

I tried the two command as instructed on the web:

  1. dumpbin /exports /OUT:msvcprt.def msvcp90.dll
  2. lib /def:msvcprt.def

The 1st one is successful and created a "msvcprt.def" but the 2nd one failed with many lines of complaining:

>> msvcprt.def(3200) : warning LNK4017: 3184 statement not supported
for the target

What could be the problem ?

Thanks
