#1709: New PC Win Win7 64 bit software doenst start
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: devnull007 | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: 6.4.3
Component: Default | Version: 6.4.1
Keywords: crash, showstopper | Platform: Unspecified
Cpu: x86-64 |
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Grass GIS does not start. It gives error of missing msvcp71.dll. Ive tried
to install all .net packes from tnhe link given here in the beginning. http://grass.fbk.eu/grass64/binary/mswindows/
which points to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa496123
unfortunately after installing all that stuff. Grass GIS is still not
running. Just disappointing for such a large project to give so poor
documentation. Links in other bug reports given also didn't work.
Only source for the dll may be dll-file.com but I'm NOT willing to
download dlls from somewhere else where it can't be trusted. So please
give a download possibility directly from microsoft. Else your product is
broken beyond any usability.

I agree but here an answer from the Microsoft Support:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-
windows_update/msvcp71dll/bf7a2488-21d8-47af-9e3b-800d3683bc89
"2. Download the DLL from the Internet or copy it from another PC with
same configuration as your PC and register the file on the system:"
... an amazing answer.
In the same thread someone suggests to install "Microsoft® Visual Studio®
.NET™ 2003 Service Pack 1".
