• Visual C++ mfc70.dll not found :(

  Gday when I used one of my programs it said I need MFC70.dll cause it was missing so I need a download link to download it. Thanks mfc70.dll is part of VS7.0. How did you build this application If you built it with VS7.0 then you will need the dll in the same location as you are running it.

• Visual Studio Express Editions ummm so what's the catch?
