Greetings,
its the C runtime (debug version) of VC++ 7.1 Compiler...
release: MSVCP71.dll, MSVCR71.dll
debug: MSVCP71D.dll, MSVCR71D.dll
MSDN tells the story ... they are no longer distributed by OS/service packs.
App vendors must distribute the files.
They have to be kept locally so that they don't overwrite the system versions (which i regularly do, i put them into same app directory)

")
Though i wonder why the plugin is shipped as debug version (unusual) ...
I read somewhere you must redist msvcp71.dll and msvcrt71.dll but you are
NOT allowed to redist msvcp71d.dll and msvcrt71d.dll.
Just ask the author of plugin to recompile it using release version and redist both release runtime dlls - OR - statically link to CRT.
Regards
