Failed creating java C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll

Whenever trying to start Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 after installing it on a Windows XP Pro (SP3) machine, I would run into that error:Failed creating java C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll.

Actually, that’s because apparently you need:

1) Either to have the SDK and not JDK of Java installed

2) Or you need to have the msvcr71.dll. dll in your windows system directory.

I downloaded the DLL from dll-files and it solved the problem.
