MSVCR71.dll missing error under Windows 8 #18

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have Windows 8
2. Try to run the contents of PyTopMod2.223.zip
3. Receive error message saying that MSVCR71.dll is missing for system and that 
the program should be reinstalled.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect TopMod to run, I get an error message instead.

Don't get me started about what I think of Windows 8, I had TopMod under 
Windows 7 and it was wonderful, I miss it a lot and could use some help.
