Touchlib error

We were able to run Tbeta in windows without a problem, but we also wanted to try out Touchlib, but every time we tried to run it on a pc it gave the following error.



So I downloaded the needed DLL from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr71
I copied it to C:\Windows\System32

and tried to run it again, but still the same error...

Then I tried to copy the dll directly in the Touchlib folder, but still the same result.

After some searching on the internet I downloaded this:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)

But the result was still the same,

The version of touchlib we were running was V2.0, and version V1.0 worked without a problem.
So I copied the missing dll from the V1.0 folder to the V2.0 folder.

And it worked.

you can download V1.0 from here:
