This is another way of looking at this question.

I haven't been involved in this this yet because 
of time restrictions. 

You might try searching the website 
http://www.info-zip.org 

They offer a zip file that will self unpack as an 
exe for Windows.  There may be a way to execute 
your exe file right after unpacking.  This will 
allow you to include all that stuff that is 
required.  

However, if the file msvcr71dll is required. it 
must be outside of the exe file, as of the last 
time I heard about it. 

And there may be other files that can't be 
included, but others will have to respond as to 
what they are.
