I had encountered following error message while starting my tomcat server.

After googling, this is usually happen because of missing msvcr71.dll file. However tomcat doesn’t use msvcr71.dll directly, it’s used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Here is the few solutions, try it out.
1) Copy msvcr71.dll from java’s bin directory to tomcat’s bin folder
2) Add java’s bin directory to windows environment variable
3) Copy msvcr71.dll from java’s bin directory to windows\system32 folder
4) Make sure your tomcat’s pointing to correct jvm.dll folder.
