Description
This happens with the Windows installer trac-0.10.3.win32.exe
When trying to install on a Windows 2003 Server sp1 box, received error
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
The file is present on the server in several folders but not in the PATH. Copying the file into the folder with the installer causes the problem to go away.
Other information
Server is running Python 2.3
Server has .NET 2.0 and 1.1 installed on it.
Server is running Trac 0.9.3 (installer for this runs happily).

$ md5sum.exe dist/trac-0.10.3.win32.exe 2e335f92bba58c1e8b9a3f271fe540d8 *dist/trac-0.10.3.win32.exe
That one was built with Python 2.3.5 and depends on MSVCRT.DLL.
You can find it for now in http://ftp.edgewall.com/incoming/trac-0.10.3.win32.exe

The http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/trac-0.10.3.1.win32.exe package has been built with 2.3.5 as well, and I've documented this build requirement in TracDev/ReleaseChecklist.
I built the current trac-0.10.3.win32.exe using Python 2.4, that's why the MSVCR71.dll is required. Now I have a good reason to rebuild it with 2.3 ;)
