Using depends.exe (http://dependencywalker.com/) on a current 
development version of Wireshark I see that msvcr71.dll is needed by 
krb5_32.dll and two DLLs upon which krb5_32 dll depends.

I'm no expert on Windows dependencies but I do see that the kfw 
(kerberos for windows ?) library package was recently changed in the 
WIN32 libraries for Wireshark.

See

Drop the locally-compiled kfw package in favor of MIT's.

I expect this is the reason why MSVCR71 is  now required.

This sounds like a bug; I'll leave it to Gerald Coombs to determine how 
this should be dealt with.

I suggest filing a bug (bugzilla.wireshark.org) so it doesn't get lost.

Also: re:

I assume you mean installing the Wireshark veresion you built...
