Summary: 202 Windows Installer requires MSVCR71.dll

Initial Comment:
When I run the install, it fails at once with a modal
dialog:

pywin32-202.win32-py2.4.exe - Unable to Locate DLL

The dynamic link library MSVCR71.dll could not be found
in the specified path.... [path on my machine]

After that the install stops and no further progress is
possible.

OS is Win2k SP4.

Since pywin relies on distutils in this aspect, i guess the request should
be redirected there.

Re: Chris Mahan's comment: You've missed my point. I don't
(or rather didn't) have MSVCR71.dll to copy around to any
directory. 

It is a redistributable DLL that is part of Microsoft's
Visual C++ 7.1. It's not part of the OS - at least, not
Win2K. Therefore any program that depends on it should
supply it.

You can work around it by copying the dll to the directory 
where pywin installer is. Win XP here.
