mfcinst71.exe DLL for Algorithmix plug-ins needed

Trying to check out new demos from Algorithmix. I use CEP 2. Demo access must be requested, then receive email about products. I'm interested in 2 noise reduction plugs.

I have full setup instructions from Algorithmix at end here, but basically it says download .exe files for each plug-in, run set-up, and then....

But when I try to run the .exe files for any of the given plug-ins, I get a message saying "This installation requires later versions of Microsoft runtime DLLs on your system. Please download and execute mfcinst71.exe and restart the installation"

So I'm stopped dead from moving forward.

I can't find the mfcinst71.exe dll anywhere on-line, not even on the Microsoft site. I came cross only one unique mention of it on the whole web, this on some East European language message board re: audio software and recording--CEP is mentioned on the listerve somewhere. I don't find that DLL in existing form on my harddrive.

Anyone know anything about this DLL and where can I find it? There are some communication issues with Algorithimx (German company & lack of information on their site) and I'd like to get using the Demos before too much time passes. As you can see below, downloading and setting up the Plug-ins seems, comparatively, needlessly complicated.

Instructions, their words (is there any way to bypass the obstacles I'm facing to setup more easily than instructed here?)
1. go to site
2. download .exe files from the main directory
3. run .exe files for each plug-in to install on your computer
4. Then return to the ftp site, go into "vst" folder and copy .dll files directly to your "vst" folder >in your host >application
5. Start up your host application and enter your email adress when prompted
6. plug-ins should appear in your directX and VST plug-in menu

What version of Windows are you running on your PC?  Microsoft have upgraded their installation software many times over the years as the operating system is changed. So you probably need to go to Windows updtae to find a newer version of the Microsoft installer.

The only thing that I know about anything called mfcinst was that it was a part of a Y2K hotfix - which would make it 7 years old!
