How can I distribute msvr71.dll (microsoft visual c++ runtime dll) [closed]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4941395

Question

I have an application that requires msvcr71.dll. In some machines the DLL is missing. Instead of asking the user to install the VC++ runtime, I would like to distribute the DLL (only one file msvcr71.dll) with our application. This gets copied to application installation directory.

From a licensing point of view, am I doing it correct? I could not find any license agreement.

The page has following note:

For Msvcr70.dll or for Msvcr71.dll, you should install the CRT DLL into your application program files directory. You should not install these files into the Windows system directories. For Msvcr80.dll and for Msvcr90.dll, you should install the CRT as Windows side-by-side assemblies.

No correct solution
