Instant Client on Windows - error - msvcr71.dll not found - a fix

Hi All,

I installed instant client 10.2.0.1 iaw the instructions on my laptop (win2k):

Installation Steps:

1. Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations REQUIRE the Basic package.
2. Unzip the packages into a single directory such as "instantclient". 
3. Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 ("instantclient"). On many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows, PATH should be used.
4. Start your application and enjoy.

But got the error Msvcr71.Dll not found.

The fix:
Download Msvcr71.dll and install in %SystemRoot%\system32

The problem's documented on Metalink : Doc ID: Note:338900.1

I hope someone find that useful.

Cheers
Tony
