Description
On machines which do not have the Microsoft Visual Studio tools installed and which therefore do not have msvcr71.dll on the system search path, the new plug-in can not run applets on top of JDK 1.4.2 due to a dependency of its native code on msvcr71.dll. Here is a dump from the browser-side debugging code indicating the problem:
