MSVCR71 is the Visual Studio 2003 (.Net) C Runtime. It is freely re-distributable. However MS considers it "depreciated", hence you have a hard time finding it on microsoft.com. This DLL should be installed directly in the installation directory (not system32 or such). IIRC the win32 port of python 2.5 links against this CRT, so unless you compile your own python (with static linking this time) you need to redistribute it. The CRT should be part of different Microsoft products as well, like .Net 1.1 Framework, however it likely won't get installed somewhere in the standard path. The MSVCR71 is NOT installed with any flavor of windows by default. If you want happy users then distribute it, or at least offer a separate download. Later versions of the MSCRT use SideBySide (SxS) assemblies. Hence, if you compiled and linked against MSVCRT 8.0 or later, you should distribute the corresponding vcredist_x86(x64).exe and install that. (It is part of Visual Studio; be sure to use the correct one as for example MSVC 8 and MSVC 8 SP1 do contain different versions).
