msvcr71.dll file missing on Win Vista when trying to run my java swing application


I've done numerous searches and I realize that I can just download this file and install it either in windows/system32 or in the application's directory. My question is, how does this dll generally get installed on Vista? I tried installing the .net framework 3.5 and it didn't get installed with that.

Background: I'm running a java.jar wrapped as an exe using exe4j.


Solution

  • msvcr71.dll is the Microsoft Visual C++ Common Runtime for Visual Studio 2003. Applications developed with VS2003 will usually install this.
