Error message when starting Wesnoth

Post by 052Hagen »

Hey, I get something like this when I want to start Wesnoth:

File MSVCR71.dll couldn't be found

I've installed the game multiple times, and tried both 1.4.7 and 1.5.9 for Windows, but it's always the same error. Note that I've installed the game on this computer for the first time.
Could anybody help me out?

Get 1.5.10 or just download that dll from Microsoft.

I mean, not to be rude or something, but how can one have this problem and post this thread without stumbling over that sticky thread in the same subforum that reads: "msvcr71.dll file missing".

Anyway welcome to the forums.

Forgive my non-techiness, I wasn't aware you could download the file from the web. Great many thanks for the fast help.

Uh, and I totally didn't see the sticky, sorry.
