"The new J32 binaries require "Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)" to be installed on XP. " Vista required this as well.
I saw another application (firebird database, to be specific) include and install these two files- msvcr71.dll and msvcr71.dll in the same folder as the binary, so that users do not need to download or install window update. IMO this is preferred where internet access or privilege needed to install window update is not available.
