I have recently downloaded and started using Helmi_WM6_Apache_Kitchen_071217_1 which uses PPC-BuildOS with file version 9.5.02, the .9.05 version listed in the title here comes from the splash screen.

If this is in the wrong spot let me know and I will move it to the proper thread but I do believe the error comes from BuildOS.

After selecting the appropriate RUU and Carrier and splash screens and options I want to include I am getting the following error when building the ROM by clicking on the green play button “Build Rom”:
--------
PPC-BuildOS.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found.
-------

This error appears during the "Building ROM" step and after clicking OK on the error then the Build Status dialog box reports:
Building ROM
Unable to load compression DLL!


The referred to MSVCR71.dll does exist in the \BuildOS\TOOLS directory.

Do I need to copy this DLL to another location?

I am running this in a VMWare Windows XP SP2 machine with Active Synch 4.5

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, try and try again as they say, it appears that copying this file into the \BuildOS directory has resolved the problem. I am not sure if there is an INI file that might be modified to specify the location but for now I am past the problem.
