Can't play AAC - can't find MSVC90

[Blrp]

When trying to play AAC, I got "The specified module could not be found.", followed by "libfaad2.dll needed etc etc". With libfaad2.dll downloaded and put in the mp3DirectCut folder, I still get the two error popups, except the first one doesn't contain any text.

The second popup says "Runtime Library MSVC90 may also be needed", so perhaps that's what I have to do. But I can't find msvc90.dll anywhere on the internet. I tried with msvc90r.dll but that didn't do anything.

There is no "msvc90.dll". The MSVC lib consists of at least 3 DLLs. There may be more. On Windows 7 and newer the lib should be already present. These 3 are needed by libfaad2 and work on my XP system:

msvcm90.dll, 220KB
msvcp90.dll, 556 KB
msvcr90.dll, 641 KB

I don't remember the source. But there seems to be an official download from Microsoft.

Turns out I just had a shitty libfaad2.dll. I downloaded it from http://originaldll.com/file/libfaad2.dll/20662.html and now it works.
