[PD] Creating Gem Window in Windows

[Björn Eriksson]

In the summer of 2016 I spent some days being really troubled around the
problem on getting Gem working on a windows machine.
The solution came with the dll file msvcr71.dll.
There was also a thread called "missing MSVCR71.DLL on Win10, Gem can't
load library" this spring.
You might check it out.

P.S. Some copy/paste from that other thread down below here.



*Ok, I see. It works without re-install or re-start. Just copy the file
(msvcr71.dll) to that location (C:\Windows\System OR SysWOW64 OR installed
Gem Folder)Thanks,*
