After installation of the Java Kernel but before completion, execution of "java -version" (where java comes out of C:/WINDOWS/System32) on a machine that doesn't have the MS Visual Studio environment installed pops up an error dialog "msvcr71.dll not found". The reason is that the loading of jkernel.dll in the Java launcher needs to first load msvcr71.dll, just like normal loading of the JVM.
