Visual Studio C++ 2003 (.Net)
Stack Overflow - Where to download Microsoft Visual c++ 2003 redistributable. It never existed as separate distributable, but was part of the .NET 1.1 runtime installer. If you need msvcp71.dll as well, you may need the .NET 1.1 SDK installer. Or using 7-zip extract the FL_msvc* files out of “VS7.1sp1-KB918007-X86.exe\.text\6.cab\” from Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET™ 2003 Service Pack 1 and rename the file to their msvc*.dll filename (ignore the _2, _3, _4, etc. they are the same).
