MSVCR71.dll was not found

[Guest]

I have 1 of 4 users running an Access/SQL-based application. When trying to
launch application, the following message appears:

This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I reinstalled the client but the vendor says this is a Windows issue not
their application issue. I looked at different machines and the MSVCR71.dll
appears to be the same size and date as other pc configs. I also tried
re-registering the dll. Thinking it may be an Office 2003/Access problem I
ran the Office Repair. Nothing.

Any ideas on how to correct this problem short of running a full WinXP
restore.

It may be more to do with where the dll is positioned, than whether it is
registered or not ie whether your application can find it - so you could
try placing it in the same folder as the application, or somewhere in your
path eg in c:\windows.

If it's there and you can see it - it's real. If it's not there and you can
see it - it's virtual. If it's there and you can't see it - it's
transparent. If it's not there and you can't see it - you erased it!


There is plenty of evidence to suggest that "COB"

If you have not fixed your problem yet try typing MSVCR71.dll in the google
bar. Or here is the webpage for the download of the file
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr71 Once downloaded
save the file. Copy the file and paste it in the system 32 folder. The path
to that folder is Localdisk C: then Windows Then System 32. Hope this helps
you with your problem.

Is it a MCE or a Tablet PC?

""Msvcr71.dll cannot be found" error message when you repair Windows XP
Media Center Edition or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition"
