MSVCR71.dll problems..

Superstar · #1 01-31-2009, 02:19 PM

I was trying to download one of my video programs, and this error came up..

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

I did some research on that online and it seems to appear alot when .net framework 2.0 isn't installed, however I have that and the service packs for it, and 3.0. 3.5 frameworks as well as all the service packs for those also all installed. I can't figure out why it's doing this. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this fixed?

Thanks

Instead of "download", I think you mean "install".

See what happens when you reinstall the .NET 3.5 Framework. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Do a "repair" or "force" install if the option is available. I don't remember what choices are given when installing. I've not installed .NET in many months.

UPDATE:
Your PM seems to indicate the problem is resolved, the item being installed is not actually needed to run the software. Therefore I would not mess with .NET anymore.
