    Ok, I don't understand this. I downloaded the sdk and when I go to open it, I get an error saying "This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". But when I re-install it I get the same error, what should I do?

      You need to download the MS Visual C++ runtime files. There are a few of them. Google them and you'll be able to find downloads to them. You will go through a few different files before it pops up working without a problem.

      Note that you can either copy the DLL files into the directory you're trying to runn the application from or you can copy them in the Windows directory on your primary operating drive.
