Hi guys!  
I just had a quick question.  
Do you know of any DLL archives around that would have the file msvbvm50.dll?  
That’s all. Don’t want to waste your time with the looong boring explanation of why.

Next time you need a file, just input the file name into any search engine. Presto! file. Lyco’s FTP search is better.
