Missing MSVCR71.dll

From

Hi,
 
I just installed the 1.8 beta. When I attempt to start it, it give me the error "This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
 
This is on Windows XP SP2, full patched.
 
I do not have the base Postgres code on this machine, just PgAdmin.
 
Is this being experienced by others?
 
Thanks,
 
Ben

I believe I've traced this back to the newer version of OpenSSL we're
using now which seems to have been built with VC++ 7.1. I've built a
custom version using VC++ 8.0 which should remove that dependency - may
I send you some updated DLLs to test?

Thanks, Dave.
