windows component compatibility updates FoxPro 9

MS windows installer 2.03 ??? That goes back pretty far... I have 6.22 dos on diskettes... as it seems to go back that far... I have foxpro 9 installed on another computer... but something has changed with the installation... i.e. missing msvcr71.dll in one instance

The missing msvcr71.dll file is a common issue with Visual FoxPro 9 installations. This DLL is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries and is essential for running applications developed with Visual FoxPro.

Steps to Resolve the Missing msvcr71.dll Issue:

Copy the DLL from Another Machine:

• If you have another computer with Visual FoxPro 9 installed, you can copy the msvcr71.dll file from the C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory (depending on your system architecture) and paste it into the same directory on the affected machine1.

Download the DLL:

  - You can download the `msvcr71.dll` file from a reputable DLL site. Make sure to place it in the `C:\Windows\System32` directory for 32-bit systems or `C:\Windows\SysWOW64` for 64-bit systems2.
  
  **Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributable**:
  
     - Reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package can also resolve the issue, as it includes the `msvcr71.dll` file3.
     
     **Register the DLL**:
     
        - After placing the DLL in the correct directory, you might need to register it. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command:
        
        ```
        regsvr32 msvcr71.dll
        ```
        

Between the two answers... I believe the problem will be solved... although I will not be able to do this until much later as the one install is not close to where I am at the moment... Much thanks for your answer/s

Hi Kenneth,

We await your feedback and please do indicate if the answers were applicable.

I tried to obtain msvcr71.dll via Visual C++ Redistributable... Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable... did not place the file in SysWOW64... So, I just copied and pasted the file. Got FoxPro to run more-or-less... after Xing out of this error MSXML2.DOMDOCUMENT.4.0 is not found. Seems that file is no longer available... did not try to replace it with version 6... do not know it's function at the moment... will leave that for another day
