    Default How to sort out the MSVCR71.dll error

    In this tutorial i will show you how to sort out the annoying MSVCR71.dll error that many people seem to be getting regularly

    First of all i would like to let you know i am running Windows NOT Mac, it is just a theme because i love the look of Mac

    This tutorial will help you fix this error

    If you have the above error then follow this tutorial, if not then do a forum search

    First of all go to this link http://www.dll-files.com/pop.php?dll=msvcr71
    And you will have this page

    Click on download and open up the zip file that you get
    It should have the following files in it

    If it does not have these files in it then make sure you clicked the correct link

    Now open Computer and go to C:/Windows/system

    This folder may be empty or it may have some files in it, if it is empty then dont worry, many people think it is the wrong place because there is no files already in it, but i can assure you it IS the correct folder

    Now drag the dll file that was in the zip file into the C:/Windows/system
    There should now be a file called msvcr71.dll in the folder


    Now restart Simba and see if you still get the error, you shouldnt do, but if you do then just post below and i will try to help you as fast as i can

    Should add that 64-Bit users place it in the SysWOW64 folder.

    This is needed, seen a lot of people mentioning the error, having it myself when first setting up Simba.

    Are you sure its wise to download the dll from that website though ?

    it doesnt go in the sysWOW64 folder, and whenever people ask i always tell them to put it in the system folder and it works perfectly fine, i use 64 bit and so do most people who have this problem

    i am sure that site is safe, i have used that site for years for msvcr71.dll

    Does it also work if you place it in the Simba directory? (Not the Simba/Plugins directory)

    I also get email notifications of private messages, though.

    That seems like a more appropriate solution to me; as the DLL will only be used from Simba, and not from any other applications.

    but i have had that error from other applications as well, so at least if it is there then if any other applications need it then it will be there already

    Whenever I need dll files I always use the site shuttle is referring to. I have used it for a while now and have had 0 problems.

    is it the exact same error?

    if so, post a screenshot of your C:/Windows/system folder

    There used to be something meaningful here.

    had this problem last week setting up a friend's computer to auto. I wish I had known about this thread then. This might need to be stickied/ linked to by a set-up tutorial/wiki.

    It's common sense, whenever you get an error like that, google it.

    The application or DLL C: \ Windows\system32\MSVCR100.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

    I get the error after all the script choosing, account adding. This is the error. The procedure entry point_clean_type_info_names_internal could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR100.dll

    This fixed everything on my desktop. My work laptop also had an MSVCR100.dll that needed fix. I'm working on that right now.

    Edit: I reinstalled Java, added MSVCR100.dll and no good. I uninstalled and clear all of the files for Simba and reinstalled everything. I added the missing .dll files and here is the error I'm getting.





    I really am not sure what to do to fix this issue. I'll wait until you can advise me on it. I've tried reinstalling Java and Simba and since it worked perfectly on my desktop I'm not sure what the issue is here. Thoughts?

    Edit: Finally got it! All I had to do was follow this. http://villavu.com/forum/showpost.ph...&postcount=322
