I'm interested in this as well (curiosity!) does anybody has a working copy stored somewhere?

It appears the download page has moved here (along with the rest of the site).

Any chances somebody keeps the English translation?

I've attached it to my post so it's easier to find in the future. Still the Japanese version, though.

If there's any problem with this, any moderator feel free to delete this post.

If you're a Windows 10 user you may need to track down both

MFC71.DLL
MSVCR71.DLL

and put them in your

C:\Windows\SysWOW64

folder.

Shouldn't you get those from from a .NET redistributable installer instead? (DotNetFx.exe or somthing?) Downloading and installing random DLLs from the internet is a scary idea to me.

M$ makes it real hard to do that with these particular .DLLs and Windows 10 - thus my workaround. But, yeah. You are right :)

I've been wondering why there are so many suggesting DLL download sites (and why these sites exists in the first place) as a solution for this kind of thing when it's clearly a very bad idea. Most people have no idea what a DLL is and would gladly do it to make things work (I've done it a lot myself in the past before I learned more about DLLs).

But yeah everyone hates unexpected DLL errors like this.

Why? It's an easy vector of malware, ransomware, targeted toward gullible Trump-voters and the other kinds of idiots. You want money, a botnet or a bitcoin mining network? Well you can have all of that!

But I think these sites have been around since before adware and such things became a thing.

I wasn't suggesting using the method described by rainwarrior - only what to do with them once you have the .DLLs. You can usually find some method of extracting them from the installer. Even 7-zip works for some packing methods. I usually use a program called Uniextract. That or use files from a known good backup from my XP and Windows 7 machines.
