Or msvcr90.dll. But both msvcr90.dll and msvcm90.dll should be in the same location anyway, in the 
WinSxS (side-by-side assembly) directory for the VC90 runtime.

Typically there are several versions of the VC90 runtime installed, in folders with names like 
c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a , 
each with three files: msvcm90.dll  msvcp90.dll  msvcr90.dll.

I don't know exactly how the C and C++ runtime is split up into these three DLLs. I do know 
msvcr90.dll is the most basic one with mainly the C library functions.

Hmm, I am not a Windows sysadmin, maybe a specific example of what will go wrong would be nice?
