The program can t start because MSVCR71 dll is missing from your computer Try reinstalling the program to fix this program

Question

Long ago  I installed 32-bit Oracle SQL Developer 2 1 on a Windows XP  32-bit  machine  I have since moved to Windows 7  64-bit  and copied the SQL Developer 2 1 from the old machine onto the new one   When I try to run sqldeveloper exe  I get the following message      The program can   t start because MSVCR71 dll is missing from your computer  Try reinstalling the program to fix this program    I know that this is because of 32-bit software which was installed in Windows XP is incompatible with 64-bit machine  Is there any alternative to open 32-bit software on a 64-bit machine  or do I need to install the 64-bit version of Oracle SQL Developer

I found this error occurred when I was using the wrong version of Java   When I changed my environment from Java 7 down to Java 6 the error no longer appeared    The MSVCR71 DLL file is in the JDK 6 bin directory  where JDK 7 has MSVCR100 DLL

Agreed with jcadcell comments  but had to use JDK 1 8 because my eclipse need that  So I just copied the MSVCR71 DLL from jdk1 6 and pasted into jdk1 8 in both the folder jdk1 8 0 121 bin and jdk1 8 0 121 jre bin  and it Worked       Wow    Thanks
