Missing MSVCR71.dll

[Hoop]

Hi,
I am trying to get my application into debug. I am using VS2005 with
some Python code in it. Works fine in release build, but I do need to
go to dubug. I have ActivePython 2.4.3.12. It says it is missing
MSVCR71D.dll, I think that is an older .dll, maybe it should be an 8
for VS2005. MSVCR71D.dll is not even on my system.
I have seen a similar posting a while back. Suggestion was to download
the dll but I believe that could be incompatiable with VS2005.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jeff

The windows distribution of python was compiled with Visual Studio 7.1,
so you need the 7.1 runtime libraries on your computer to run python. I
haven't tried compiling an app with VS2005, but I don't see why they
would be incompatible. I've compiled a python app using VS 7.0 and it
worked fine.

Hi Farshid,
Yes, you are correct. I downloaded the dll and was able to run a debug
build.
