[Mongrel] Mongrel doesn''t start under Rails 2.0.2/Win XP

All,

Mongrel 1.1.3
Rails 2.0.2
Ruby 1.8.6
Windows XP SP2

When I issue the command "ruby script/server" from any of my Rails
projects on v. 2.0.2, I get a Windows dialog with the error:

"The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I''ve gone through the process of attempting to introduce MSVCR80.dll
into my PATH but just generate more errors.

I suspect that at some point, the precompiled Mongrel gem started
getting compiled with a newer version of the MS C compiler than my
runtime supports.  I have the Windows Platform SDK for Windows Server
2003 R2 installed.

Does anyone know if the runtime support for Mongrel has changed in the
last few revs.?  Or is my theory completely wack?

Thanks,
Wes Gamble
