#162 MFC71.DLL missing from install?
Pythonwin Build 203 for Python 2.4 (using b1) doesn't
start, it exits on launch with this dialog box:
"This application has failed to start because MFC71.DLL
was not found. Re-installing the application may fix
this problem."
Previous versions of Pythonwin have worked fine on the
machine, but this is the first time a 20x build has
been used. System in Windows XP SP2.

This is a dupe of:
[ 1016558 ] 202 Windows Installer requires MSVCR71.dll

I searched all over microsoft.com to find these files. The
best way that I came up with is to download the "ATC
Voicepack SDK" from:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/fs2004_downloads_sdk.asp
And install it. Then copy the dlls from the installed
directory into \winnt\system32 (for win2K, or where ever
else your OS stores dlls)
Then uninstall the "ATC Voicepack SDK". PythonWin should
then work fine.

Thanks for the advice!
My only concern is that I am running a standard installation
with the latest version of Windows, and I need to go hunting
for DLLs just to get it running. If the DLL is necessary for
normal operation on a vanilla Windows install, it should
probably be bundled into the installation package.

The post install note indicates that this file is not
included, but refers to the win32all home page as a source
of the file. The file is nowhere to be found.
This is not a dupe of the MSVCR71.dll bug - it only affects
Pythonwin, and relates to a different DLL.

The starship URL now has a link to the DLLs. It is unlikely
that the install will ever include them.
