How to fix missing MSVCR71.dll

How to fix missing MSVCR71.dll problem in Windows

I am using Windows 7, and I’m lacking MSVCR71.dll which is Microsoft Visual C Runtime library when using sendmail, the PostgreSQL PHP connector and curl. The MSVCR71.dll is probably bundled with .NET Framework 1.1 or something, but I couldn’t get those to install successfuly.

The program can’t start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this program.

So how do I solve it:

1. Download MSVCR71.dll from dll-files.com. (It is free.)
2. Unzip
3. Place MSVCR71.dll into C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 if you using a 64-bit Windows.

And sendmail now works for me already in Windows 7.

By the way, I only tested this in Windows 7 64-bit. I assumed it would work for other versions of Windows. I would appreciate it if you could feedback to me if it works on your version of Windows.

It is reported working for Windows 7 32-bit as well.
