Android Studio missing msvcr71.dll missing

Hi There,

Today I was trying my hands on Android Studio and ran into this msvcr71.dll missing error. I tried to google it, but no proper solution was found except the following link:

Unfortunately it did solved my problem instead it gave me new problem to solve that is "A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++  found in your computer". I ended up installing Visual C++ 2010 Express but still my problem was not resolved.

I searched my laptop for the msvcr71.dll and found it in my JDK bin folder. I have already set my JAVA_HOME variable but apparently it is not enough  and I need to set my path variable to point to bin bolder of JDK.

Finally I have added the "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin" to my path variable and wallah :) the problem resolved...

Hope this will help others...
