FWIW, I was just trying to install the 71 dlls using msm myself the other
day and never got it to work properly. Then someone on the internet

extract the dlls and install them as regular files into your app folder.
So that's what I did. Maybe not that "kosher" but at least it works...
regards,
Simon
