Hi, Simply find MSVCR70.DLL and put it in the same directory as your PAR-built executable. Then the exe should run. You'll just have to distribute this file with your executable, or inform people that they need the .NET framework to run it.
You may be able to build a par with the following options: pp -B -o something.par -p script.pl Then stick MSVCR70.DLL inside the PAR using some Zip software (a PAR file is just a zip file). Put it in the top level directory of the PAR. Then run this command to convert that PAR to a standalone exe: pp -o something.exe something.par Hopefully, it's not PAR that requires MSVCR70.dll but one of your supporting modules. If you do things this way, MSVCR70.dll should be extracted before those modules are loaded, and you shouldn't get the error message anymore.
