 Replying to [ticket:1709 devnull007]:
 > Grass GIS does not start. It gives error of missing msvcp71.dll.
 ...
 > 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.

 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".

 The Microsoft forum is full of this problem, it appears to be a Microsoft
 problem:
