General answer to your questions: You need to compile the lapackpp
library (DLL) yourself in order to use it. Obviously you are not very
familiar with the process of compiling a DLL. I can help a little bit,
but I'm neither willing nor able to give you a full-fledged introduction
into how to use a compiler. You might want to consider using a different
tool for completing your homework if you're in a hurry here and if
you're not willing or able to work with your compiler yourself.

Here are quick answers:

Are you really sure this is the only version number and it is the
version number of your compiler? I know of "Microsoft Visual Studio"
versions 6.x, 7.0.x, 7.1.x and maybe higher (8.x?), but *not* 2.0.x.
Additionally, the "About" box will show you the version number of the
"Microsoft .NET Framework", which is 1.1.x here, but that doesn't matter
for a C++ project. If you are really using MSVC version 2.x, then this
is way too old and lapackpp will not compile with this. You need at
least 6.0.

Yes it does. Where did you look for BLAS32.DLL? It installs BLAS32.DLL
into your c:\windows, and BLAS32.LIB into c:\program-files\lapackpp\lib
(or whatever directory prefix you have chosen).

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=99696 says there
is exactly one file ending with "tar.gz".

In the directories extracted from that package?

Like, opening it with your MSVC compiler? And clicking Compile -> Build All?

If you don't know what I mean, then just ignore it. You will encounter
the respective error message early enough.

By "copy the LAPACKPP.DLL file" I indeed mean "copying lapackpp.dll", yes.
