Comment(by hamish):

 installing msvcr71.dll didn't help. I didn't try msvcp71.dll as well,
 although a colleague using Windows7 needed both those (in that case it
 asked for them by name).

 In order to fix the `WindowsError: [Error 14001] This application has
 failed to start` error I was getting on a fresh Windows XP machine I
 needed to install the Microsoft .NET Frameworks 3.1 followed by 3.5.

  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21


 perhaps the .NET Frameworks version 4 download helps too, but does not
 require the earlier versions to be installed first? (not tested)

 suggested solution is to add some text to the wingrass README.html
 troubleshooting section.
