version 3.0.3 installation problem

I was installing version 3.0.3 of Vault for a 10-user gold support customer and we found that the diff-merge tool would not run because it could not find an MS 7.1 runtime library DLL which was not installed on their systems. I forget the exact name of the DLL, but we found a version of it on a machine that had VS C++ .NET 2003 installed. It seems that the installation should install this DLL in the system folder if it is not already there.

MSVCR71.dll used to come with Windows, but newer versions of windows no longer have this installed by default.

Users with Visual Studio installed on their machines should already have this dll installed so this problem only occurs for users without Visual Studio.

MSVCR71.dll should exist in your %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 directory. Simply copy the file over to the %programfiles%\SourceGear\Vault Client\ directory.

We are looking into fixing this in the client Client installer, but until then the above work around should get the diff tool running.
