Hi,

I have an application that depends on msvcr71.dll which
gets installed by dotnetfx.exe, but we'd rather not
install the entire .NET Framework just yet since it's just
this one DLL that we need. Is this DLL legally
redistributable by itself?

Thanks!
Jenny

According to the redist.txt file installed by my copy of VS.NET 2003,
msvcr71.dll is redistributable. Assuming yo have VS.NET 2003, you
should be fine. If you have another development product, you should
check redist.txt to see if it allows redistribution.
 
Hello Jenny,

Thanks for posting in the group.

Mike is right. Redist.txt in Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003 folder lists this file as redistributable.

Also, I suggest you one useful web page, which could be used to check which
Microsoft product distributes this DLL:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks/fileversion/dll
info.asp&SD=MSDN

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks to both of you. It turns out I was looking at
an older version of redist.txt, which didn't list that
specific file. Thanks!
