makevmaps_SIMPLE.bat cannot execute error solved

just posting this for anyone else in a similar configuration who stumbles during map/vmap creation.

i'm running on linux, and using a windows vm (virtualbox) to rip files. the vm is a vanilla install of winxp-32bit.

ad.exe ran flawlessly when i copied it from the contrib dir on the linux install to the client dir.

when i did the same for the vmap_extractor bin/bat files, i kept getting an error message that the file could not be executed.

searching forums didnt return much info, i decided maybe i'm missing some dll's that the dev's are taking for granted. i installed Visual C++ Express (free version), and Voila! vmap_extractor now runs.

so for anyone else in a similar boat, this posting should come up in a search for you.

for the dev's, please, in the future, if you pre-build executables, include any runtime dependencies in the README file, so that those of us not building on win32 are aware of what we need to install.

peace!
