When GRASS is launched it stops because the MSVCR71.DLL is not found

[GABRIEL]

When GRASS is launched using the screen icon whose properties are: "C:\Archivos de programa\GRASS 6.4.1\grass64.bat" -wxpython inmediately the message (translated from Spanish¨: ¨Error when starting the application because the MSCVR71.DLL was not found. The reinstallation of the application could solve the problem¨ I´ve installed later the OSGEO4W and the problem continues. Then I´ve reinstalled GRASS and the message appears again. I was using GRASS, Linux Red Hat for a long time, but now I need it in my notebook that has a Windows XP(32) operating system. Thanks.

probably you need to install vcredist_x86, or similar,

still todo / to check for 6.4.3: (see 1428 comment 65)

I don't see the 80,90 dlls installed anywhere, perhaps these will fail:

libpq.dll	req's  msvcr80.dll
tk85.dll	req's  msvcr90.dll
geotiff.dll	req's  msvcp90.dll
(just a sample, probably others too)
