Missing MSVCR71.dll
Well, it's not missing anymore. Running Win10 with the latest updates. The program in question is Quicken which ran fine UNTIL I downloaded RealTime in an attempt to play a DVD. That didn't work so I deleted Real Time as I have no other need for it.
Then the next time I tried run Quicken, I get an error message stating MSVCR71.DLL is missing and reinstalling Quicken may fix the problem. I would have gone with that option except I'm on a 2 month road trip with the Quicken installation disk at home. Further research on the net said deleting Real Time deletes this DLL file! Where does Real Time get permission to mess around with my other files. So to correct the problem, I reinstalled Real Time and now Quicken works fine.
I DON'T want Real Time on my computer and I was wondering if I copied this dll file to a jump drive, deleted Real Time on my computer and then copied the dll file back to its normal folder (c:\windows\syswow64, would Quicken be good to go? I need Quicken for my current road trip and don't want to screw it up.
I'm also wondering if I made this dll file READ ONLY, would Real Time delete it if I garbage can RT?
