The beta VC++ 2005 Express includes everything one would want, nmake, cl, lib, link et al. It does not have msvcr70.lib in it's lib/ tree. It does have msvcrt.lib. In SDK\v2.0\Bin one also finds msvcr80.dll.
Which means, it appears, that msvcr70.dll never 'arrived' and has been orphaned.
The lib file has never (as far as I recall) had the version number in the filename.
MSVCR70.dll is from VC++ 7.0 (Visual Studio .NET 2002) MSVCR71.dll is from VC++ 7.1 (Visual Studio .NET 2003) MSVCR80.dll is from VC++ 8.0 (Visual Studio .NET 2005)
