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.

Answer 1

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

Answer 4

Since VS 2003 targeted older versions of .NET and is not a supported development environment on Vista, it's probably only going to get installed on Vista if an application's installer does so.

I don't know if the .NET 1.1 redistributable will install it on Vista, but it's worth a try in a virtual machine.
