[Bf-committers] Re: msvcr71.dll not found

[Eugene Reilly]

It sounds like the Blender build was compiled with MSVC 7 and it wasn't
compiled with the VC7 C++ libraries (via a manifest) nor were the libraries
added to the Blender folder, so Blender went looking for it and couldn't
find it.  I gather that the PC that had the error had the old VC6
libraries.  As far as Max having it in its, so do a bunch of other guys too
(e.g. Inksape, Google Earth, OpenOffice).  What were the PC specs that had
the issue, specifically, was it XP SP2 or SP1?

Blender should not be using that file I don't think (we should be
compiling without it), where are you getting the blender version that
you used from?
