[7u6] Request for approval for CR 7174645 Could not enable access bridge in Win XP - 32 bit

[Ragini Prasad]

Hi Artem,
/MT flag links the MSVC***.dll statically.
This is the Makefile (open) for utility (in closed) we added Registry 
manipulation which needs the MSVC*** dll to be present on the host 
machine, as this dll may not be present, hence the need to do the static 
linking.
Thanks,
Ragini.
