I have an old dll that uses the Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 (7.1) run time package. Unfortunately I don't have that DLL around anymore. Short of reinstalling VS2003, is there another way to get the run time redistributable dll?

+3  A: 

After a bit of googling, it seems that there never was a separate redistributable for Visual C++ 2003 (7.1). At least that is what a post on the microsoft forum says.

You may however be able to extract the runtime DLLs from the VC 7.1 DST timezone update.

I wasn't able to extract the runtime DLLs from that update, but you are correct in that there doesn't seem to be a redistributable. Seems like a oversight to me.

I think this is what you're looking for: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

The question was about VC 2003 (msvcr7.x). I think the nice redistributable packages available for newer versions, such as your link, are not now and have never been available for the older version in the question.
