This is Microsoft's C runtime library. I don't think we're permitted to 
redistribute it to users, but if you search on google you will find 
numerous free sites where you can download it.

Once you have downloaded it you should put the .dll file in 
C:/Windows/system32/. If it requires any other .dll files (eg 
mscvr71.dll) you should be able to do the same.

With that in place you should be all set to go.

It's unusual these days that XP doesn't have this .dll available 
already. What "Service Pack" of XP do you have installed - do you have 
SP2 installed?
