MSVCP71.dll error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Simply starting the program.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the program to start. Insted I get a warning telling me that
MSVCP71.dll can not be found and so the program will not run. It also tells
me to reinstall, but that does not fix the problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Rainmeter-Latest-20090320-32bit.exe on XP SP3. Previous versions of
Rainmeter do not have this problem.

Please provide any additional information below. If the problem is a
related to some config option attaching a example is always a good idea.
Try to keep it as simple as possible and make sure that it is a fully
working Rainmeter config (i.e. it includes all graphics too).

It is not at least reproduced in my XPsp3.
This DLL is installed from the beginning in XP in case of almost.
However, such a problem seems to be likely certainly to be reproduced according 
to
user's environments. 
Though it doesn't understand the reason well... (something updated or 
uninstalled?)

Anyway, to solve this, the DLL will be reinstalled to your system.
Please find the DLL somewhere in WEB.

The DLL already exists in my system. I reinstalled it many times and I get the 
same
problem.

have you tried running it with the .dll in the same dir as Rainmeter?

My system finds the file in the windows/system32 directory on Vista 32.  Not 
sure if
it was always there or got installed at some point.

Yes, I'm a Japanese user. sorry in poor English.

I also have the same experience as you.
Incidentally, In my case, "MSVCR71.dll" was not found, either.
However, it worked when putting two DLL into same dir as Rainmeter.exe.
Furthermore, when re-installing XP as new after few days, this problem did not 
arise
any longer.

@JMHarris3283 - Just tried that, still unsuccessful even after reboot.

@brian.todoroff - Mine is in the same directory. I believe in my case it is 
installed
with XP

@kenz0.sanada - 
いや、全然分かりやすい英語ですよ^^ｄ　でも質問です。"tw
o DLL into
same dir"って　what's the other DLL? MSVCR71.dll and ? Also, my XP was just
reinstalled 2 weeks ago...so it should not be a problem...but...

Completely uninstalled Rainmeter with Revo Uninstaller, and reinstalled the 
latest
version again. Still encounter the same problem, even with copies of the DLL in 
my
sysetm32 folder and in the Rainmeter dir. Bizarre.

The alert of "MSVCR71.dll" came out again this time after putting in 
"MSVCP71.dll".
In my case, it means that two DLLs were not found.

Since it is dependent on a user's system environment about the obstacle about
runtime, I do not understand after all.

Well, even if it puts DLL into system32 or Rainmeters Dir, it means that an 
alert
appears in addition?
Or doesn't a certain other alert or other error message appear?
Incidentally, Is the DLL real "MSVCP71.dll"?

I have the DLL in both system32 and Rainmeter Dir, and I get an error message:  

MSVCP71.dllが見つかれません　（俺のOSは日本語版）

How do I check if its the "real" DLL?

There must be many places which have distributed DLL.
How about trying on other ones?
I do not have advice more than this about this problem any longer.

Got it to work! I installed the latest rainmeter on my pc at work to see what 
would
happen, and it worked fine. So I copied the DLL from that pc on to my home pc 
and now
it runs without a hitch. yay.

This should no longer be an issue as we have switched to VS 2008.
