Click here to download the file: here (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp70)

All you had to do was do a google search for the file, download the zip, and unzip it into your PS file.

Enjoy :)

If any of you have C++ installed on your system just do a full HDD search for msvcp70.dll and it will come up in your c++ directory.  Copy that to the root folder of planeshift.

Copy the file to the following folder:




C:\\program files\\planeshift

**or whatever directory planeshift is installed into.  The file needs to be in the same directory as the updater.  Good Luck everyone!

If you got the dll from somewhere else, then it might be an older version of the dll that doesn\'t support that function?

The thing is that the file is not called \"msvcp70.dll\" when I d/l it its called \"download.pl\" May have to do with my pk-zip plugin

Disable any Download Accelerators such as \"Download accelerator\", \"Getright\" and \"Gozilla\" you may be using.

Disable any REFERER-blocker such as AdSubstract.
DO NOT RIGHT CLICK and choose \"save target as\".
Disable security programs such as \"Norton Internet security\".

I see that on the link for the dll posted on this thread... and the link for the file download is :

[/URL]http://www.dll-files.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/dll-files/topdown/download.pl?file=msvcp70.zip==

So, basically, when you try to use something like getright, it tries to just download the download.pl file, instead of taking the instuctions from it which points to the file. They do this so that people won\'t leach their file downloads on their own page (I think).

Uh, but I don\'t have Getright or gozilla.

nm I got it off the main site
