Hi Uwe,

- The label reads "Windows XP(R) Professional OEM Software", on the CD is
printed "Enthält Service Pack 2" and "Version 2002".
- It was bought about 3 weeks ago
- Installed on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270 XCD w/ 196MB RAM
- Additionally only a network card and MS Network client and an USB mouse
installed, all using original drivers coming along with XP
- After that, online-registration at MS, then download and installation of all
available service packs (about 72 or something) so far from the MS update site
- No other software *whatsoever* installed
- At that state, a HD image was taken
That is the XP installation I have left over for LyX testing purposes, which I
can reproduce by using the HD image. It probably can't get any "cleaner" than
that for LyX testing purposes under XP ;-)
So, if the msvcr71.dll is missing in that installation, but available on other
machines, I am quite sure it must have been provided by some third party
software...

Yes, one should not rely on third party software to be installed _before_
LyX....

That msvcr80.dll problem was encountered and reported when using the "official"
1.4.4-2 installer, see the "crash on startup" reports by various testers. It
does not occur when using the "alternate" installer.

Can't look this up at the moment, I would have to re-apply the HD image,
install the alternate installer, and then have a look again.
Hope it helps,
Tom Schlangen
