I'm trying to install BloggX 2.0.13 on a PC running Windows Vista. The install fails with the error "This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. It then pops up a box saying install4j can't find JAVA. I manually located JAVA, and the install continued. But now when I try and run BloggX, I get the same MSVCR71.dll error. I also can't uninstall the program, for the same error.
Does BloggX run on Vista? If so, can you help me out in resolving this error?
Thanks!

Toddman, thanks for the reply. I downloaded and installed msvcr71.dll, but when I tried to register it with regsvr32, it gave me the error message "The module "msvcr71.dll" was loaded, but the entry-point dllregisterserver was not found. Make sure msvcr71.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again".
I couldn't find much with a Google search to help me out. I wonder if this DLL works under Vista?
It may be that you need to install an older version of Java.
I found that I was getting the same error (the missing MSVR71). I found I didn't have Java installed. (I know... seems unrelated, but read on) So I went to Java.com and installed it. After reboot, I started getting a different error. "Main class not found" Still no success
So I went to the iobinary site and checked out the 'requirements' for Blogg-x... An older version of Java was required... So I downloaded the version that was listed in the req's.... and uninstalled the later version of Java... and now it works... and works well.
To sum up: After installing Java 6, I found Java 5 was needed. So I uninstalled the new Java and installed the older one. The only thing is... I don't know _why_ I stopped getting the MSVCR error. I lost track of that bit.
Hopefully it's as easy as installing the older Java release.... Because I am using Blogg-x on Vista.
I finally got it to work - but I'm not sure how. I reinstalled it, uninstalled it, then installed everything from scratch again, and it started working. At this point, I got the end results I needed, so I won't worry about how I got there.
