Yes I did also added the Direct X June 2010 version which I extracted and placed in the folder as you prescribed and it worked.

But my main issue is the missing "msvcp71.dll" !!! Thats my only problem.

I'm also compiling it on a windows 7 64 bit.
the issue is not the conversion itself, but your install of windows 7.
There are tons of posts all over the net, regarding software complaining about that missing dll. Its C++, earlier versions that are NOT installed by default, namely 2005, 2008, 2010 versions BOTH x86 & x64 need to be installed to 'fix' that missing dll issue.

Additionally you need to install all windows updates, after installing those C++ version, as there are SP that need to be updated after installing them. msvcp71.dll & msvcr71.dll, both are installed in my clean install of W7X64 after installing those versions from MS.

the 2003 C++ version would have been installed by windows update KB932298( hotfix ) directly available here.
