Fix Msvcp71.dll And Msvcr71.dll Missing Error In Windows 7

by on
174

Do you get Msvcp71.dll and Msvcr71.dll missing error when running a program in Windows 7? Both are Microsoft C Runtime Library files and it seems as if Microsoft forgot to add them to Windows 7. Some programs require you to have both files for it to work successfully.

We have uploaded both dll files for you(grab them from the bottom of this page), but the bigger question is how to install them? Before we begin, have a look at the errors in the screenshot below.

msvcp71.dll - msvcr71.dll error windows 7

Installation In Windows 7 32-bit OS

If you are using Windows 7 32-bit then you need to put both dll files inside Windows/System32 folder as shown in the screenshot below.

dll files to system 32 windows 7


Installation In Windows 7 64-bit OS

If you are using Windows 7 64-bit then you need to put both dll files inside the Windows/SysWOW64 folder as shown in the screenshot below.

We have put both dll files inside one zip archive, simply extract them and follow the above guidelines to install them.

Mirror 1 (If the above link doesn’t work, try this mirror. Please note that it is compressed in .7z format which will require 7zip to extract)

Enjoy!

    On x64 systems you can also put the files in the WindowsSysWOW64 folder (Windows-On-Windows 64-bit). This is the folder with 32-bit DLL's etc.

    • Nakodari

      It wasn't working the first time, but second time it worked fine. I have updated the post now.

      Works now Thanks!

  • http://twitter.com/Vordreller Vordreller

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit

    I download the zip and tried to unzip to the System32 folder, and it told me that both files already existed.

    • Nakodari

      Wow! My system must be messed up then. I am using Ultimate 64-bit. Thanks for letting me know…

    • http://twitter.com/ltGuillaume Willem Nuijen

      No, these files are not there by default, but may be installed with other programs that depend on them. Unfortunately, not all programs check for the presence of these DLLs, hence the error messages like the one above.

    • skippy

      Mine said they were already there and i selected copy but keep both files and it worked.:)

    Thank you so much for this. I was pulling my hair out. I kept adding msvcr71 to my “system32″ folder, and it wouldn't fix the problem. I didn't know I also needed to add it to the “sysWOW64″. You've saved the day.

  • TitanQDemoPlayer

    I can't open the .zip file after downloading it to my desktop. When I try, I get the following message: Windows cannot open the foldr. The Compressed (zipped) folder 'c<filenam.zip>' is invalid.
    I run Win7 64bit Ultimate as administrator

    • Nakodari

      It is fixed now. Try the mirror.

  • alexorodrigue

    i agree with dude right fuckin above me same happened here

    • Nakodari

      Thanks for letting us know. It is fixed now. Please try the mirror.

    You shouldn’t download dlls and executables off of random web pages and manually install them. You should get the normal installer from Microsoft’s download page. Look for Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

    If an application doesn’t find it then they haven’t packaged the installer properly with the redistributable.

    • Minge Master

      Doesnt everyone love the smartarse who replies with a pedantically correct but utterly pointless reply. Sure the files should be there, but they aren’t – isn’t that exactly why we are here??? Knob!

      • foobarbaz

        You’re the kind of moron, who does stupid things like download DLLs from random web sites and copy them to Windows’ system directories, and then a year later starts dozens of threads on the forum of some random game or app whining about how it doesn’t work on his system. If the official installer doesn’t work, why don’t you try and figure out why, instead of meddling with hacky solutions like this?

    • Arlin

       Thank you, Tigen.  I believe that took care of it, and from the Microsoft web site.

    • shinji

      Have done that, still had the problem. Now the problem’s fixed. MS Install couldn’t do that!

    • Selvokaz

      Which one do you need? im having this same issue and i to dont want to download from some random site, but which distributed pack has it? is there a link?

  • Densel

    Thanx a lot..worked great!!!

  • Glenn

    Pasting in the Msvcp71.dll And Msvcr71.dll files directly into the System32 folder resulted in the successful installation of previous game programs which earlier flagged the missing files as being necessary to run the programs.

    Thanks very much for everyones input

  • http://hoerspiele-kostenlos.de/ Hans

    I am still getting the error message (Windows 7 64 Bit). I tried the System32 folder, I tried the SysWOW64 folder, I even tried the normal system folder. Same result: error message, when I try to install Skype (which by the way has been running well so far on my Win 7 until the last update two days ago….)

    Any suggestions?!

  • amin

    that was helpful , thanks.

  • Vrenn

    I installed both .dll files for a program to run which required it but when I tried to run the program, it gave me this error message:

    The procedure entry point ???1?$RCPtr@UStringValue@LM_UniString@devtech@@@devtech@@QAE@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library AdobeLinguistic.dll

    what does this mean and what are the steps to rectify this problem? thanks in advance for your help or anyone reading this who has a solution and would like to share it. :)

    According to an MS KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326922). Although these files are very very commonly required they are not actually part of the base OS and therefore should *not* be installed in system32/SysWOW64 but instead in the same directory as your application. The trouble is because they are ubiquitous they are often taken for granted and not bundled with the app.

  • sj14260

    tigan should think before speaking (writing). Msvcr71.dll is part of .net 1.1 not c++ redistributions. The files in the link above are digitally signed so check the signatures before installing these files. Thanks for the post here. You can also pull the same files from C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.1.4322 directory if .NET 1.1 is not already installed.

  • nrb1238

    Thanks alot

  • VDtwi

    How did I lose these modules? !!!
    Anyway awesome solution !
    Amazing, thxs a lot…

  • Bob

    I have yet to see the answer to this problem,there has to be a definite reason why it just all of a sudden happens to some peoples system.
    First of all ,in the RUN field type in any of those files and most likely MOST will see they are already there.
    It seems i actually have 3 of the same file,go figure.]
    This could be a tricky way of malware disguising itself as a legit file.I see no reason why i would have 3 identical files.
    I have run Adware which for years many know is a VERY shotty company,run by former scammers.Many think they are on the up n up now,but we will never really know.Another thing that all of us might be doing is running an anti virus,then allow the program to fix the problems.Often Malware will attach itself to legit files therefor when the anti virus cleans it out it also removes the needed file,especially .dll’s.

    What we need to really get a better answer so all can realize the problem,is WHY do our machines say the file does not exist when it does?

  • Bob

    I might also add that on the Microsoft site is says to NOT install the .dll into the windows directory.
    Someone else mentioned it is a Net 1.1 file, i have read that is well but i have also read it is part of the Windows 7.1,so idk this should be explained simpler i guess..Net framework 1.1 is very old ,i am not sure if it can even run under the new Win7 infrastructure but maybe it can and is a part of both files. 1.1 and 7.1.
