I cannot open my Quicken 2006 program. I get a message saying that the application couldn’t start because MSVCR71.dll was not found and a suggetion to reinstall the application. I can’t reinstall the CD because my CD drive is disabled. I found 14 files with the name msvcr71.dll on my system. I have a flash drive back up copy of the Quicken file. Any suggestions? I was thinking of buying a downloadable version of Quicken and attempting to restore the backed up file.
Also, are there any alternative applications to Quicken? It seems that with every new version I install the program seems to have more problems. MS Money is no longer being produced.
Thank you!
I found a potential solution to your problem from the Intuit website. Try the solution below first. If you can’t find the correct version of the file on our computer, you can download a copy here. Be careful on this site to only click the download link for the file which says “Click here to go to the download of msvcr71.dll”, there are a bunch of ads for “registry cleaners” and “automatic fixes” you want to avoid.
If the solution doesn’t work, updating your Quicken software is probably your next best bet (you have a pretty old version, anyway). Hard to say whether there is other software out there that may be better for your needs without knowing what your needs are, but Quicken is the best of its type.
Good luck and let us know if this works!
Solution:
This error occurs when the Microsoft .NET Framework file msvcr71.dll is either missing from the c:\program files\common files\intuit\quickbooks directory or the file is damaged. You can resolve this issue by copying the correct file into the c:\program files\common files\intuit\quickbooks directory.
To copy the file:
1. Search for the file msvcr71.dll. Because different applications use copies of the same file, several different copies might be found. QuickBooks uses version 7.10.3052.4
2. Check the version of the file:
1. Right-click the file name and select Properties.
2. Select the Version tab to see the file version.
3. When you find a matching file, right-click the file name and select Copy.
4. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\Quickbooks.
5. Click the Edit menu and select Paste.
Once the file has been copied, open QuickBooks and apply the update.
