I'm trying to find a problem with a matplot library I installed in
Python 2.5.2. I managed to track it down to msvcp71.dll. The issue may
be what was flagged as a "required dependency not found" according to
the Dependency Walker program.
I found a msvcp71.dll dated Aug. 2003, I think from MS, and tried
putting it into c:\windows\system32. I found there was one there dated
feb 2003. I'm hesitant to replace it at the moment.
I happened across this
====================
I found this
<http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcp71-dll-not-found-missing-error.htm>,
but he almost has too much to say. He issues a warning about getting a
dll off the web. He does offer this though.
Run the sfc /scannow System File Checker command to replace a missing or
corrupt copy of the msvcp71.dll file. If this DLL file is provided my
Microsoft, the System File Checker tool should restore it.
Maybe there's more useful advice there, but ...
====================
Well, I tried entering sfc /scannow, and a DOS window came up for a
split second. I had no idea how to go further, so back to the web, and
found this.

I have no idea if sfc is helpful here. but ...
Some 20 lines down it says:
"If sfc discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it
retrieves the correct version of the file from the
%systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder, and then replaces the incorrect
file. "
So how do I get out of my dilema, and does sfc offer any real help?
