Peter,

My understanding is that MSVCR71.DLL is what is used by
Visual Studio.NET built applications and that Python 2.4 binaries
are now normally built this way.  Is it possible that switching to Python
2.4 actually introduced this requirement?

I don't know a good solution, though switching back to Python 2.3
would likely help.

Best regards,
