msvcr90.dll is MIA?

[Alex Hall]

I tried both vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe, with no result; I
still do not have the required dll (I have 32-bit python, so the _x86
should have done the trick). I will try another poster's suggestion of
installing vcpp express 2005 and hope that will work...
