Thinking about the "missing msvcr71.dll" message
- Brian and others,
I followed the README.TXT in %wrk% to build the kernel. When making, I got the "missing msvcr71.dll" message launched by cl. Is copying the missing files to %wrk%\tools\x86\ the proper solution? Or doing some modification in makefile a proper one?
Is this a little mistake in WRK? Or I am not having the correct WRK package (WRK v1.2)?
Seems quite a few questions :-P. Any discussion appreciated~

Yes, there is a problem with the WRK x86 compilation environment that we recently discovered. Certain machine configurations will give you "missing msvcr71.dll" and "missing msvcp71.dll" errors when you attempt to compile. Most of our testing was done on machines that had MS Visual Studio 2005 installed and we didn't run into this problem since all of the most recent DLLs are loaded onto the system. It wasn't until I tried to compile in a fresh Virtual PC image without MSVS that I noticed this problem. We plan to fix this in the downloadable version of the WRK this week and on the CD version during the next revision cycle.
Until then, you can download the files online from sites such as www.dll-files.com. Just place the missing DLLs into the wrk-v1.2\base\x86 directory and everything should work fine.
Sorry about the problem.

- Thanks a lot, Brian.
- I have had this problem too, im on vista, the normal one, not buisness or nething. I jus bought csi hard evidence and its saying that msvcr71.dll is missing. Can someone run thru how to fix this? ive downloaded the file from the dll-files, but it still doesnt work? where do i have to put it and can u run thru how to get to where to put it? or any other suggestions?
Please put the file into tools\x86 directory.
Thanks,
Serge
- hi guys, having the same problem. have downloaded the 'MSVCR71.dll' file but don't know where to put it. Where is the tools/x86 directory?
- When you install WRK to a directory X, you get subdirectories X\base, X\public, X\tools and X\WS03SP1HALS. Subdirectory X\tools contains subdirectories X\tools\amd64 and X\tools\x86.
- me too. i've been trying to figure out the msvcr71.dll for days. went to the site. (my problem is that realplayer won't install..that's when i get the error). downloaded and extracted it and stuck into some wow file, which is what the people having the same problem on the forum suggested, and what had worked for them. didn't for me
i'm running windows 2000 xp sp2. and am unfortunately only good at the retard directions. so if somebody could humble themselves to talk down to me, i'd be appreciative (or provide another option, like downloading some windows runtime thing, which is where i've just come from, but didn't understand if it would help with the problem.
thanks,
mrjyn - As was said in previous posts,
1) go to http://www.dll-files.com
2) download msvcr71.dll
3) save this file to X\tools\x86 directory, where X is the directory you installed WRK to.
I didn't quite get your reference to realplayer - what does it have to do with WRK compilation. You are trying to compile the Windows Research Kernel, right?
