I have just upgraded win 8 from win 7 on my sony vaio laptop. However, now when I start, on the screen it says "The program (VUDesktopToast.exe - System Error) can't start because mfc110u.dll is missing from your computer. Try installing to fix this problem'. So, please let me know how can I fix it?

    Tried to uninstall Vaio Update from add remove programs but could not because "Vaio care was installed", so I uninstalled the Vaio care first, then uninstalled the Vaio update, then went to the Sony "e site" and reloaded the updated version of Vaio care.

    I no longer have the Vaio Update installed on my system, and of course do not get the error message anymore.

    I hope Sony will have an update to the Vaio Update software to allow it to work on the Windows 8 systems.

    I've solved this by installing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012

    The Sony site has an update to their VAIO Update software that for some reason did not self-update on my machine, even though it was published prior to my updating my machine to Windows 8. I tried uninstalling VAIO Update using Uninstall A Program in Control Panel, but it said it couldn't uninstall because VAIO Care was running, so I uninstalled that first.

    Then I went to the Sony site: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=VGNNW270F&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=download#/downloadTab

    If this is not your Sony model, go up near the top left of the page, just left of the photo, and click on "change model..." (on a label near the lower right of your laptop's display).

    In the drop-downs, open up the category called Sony Applications (Various) and choose the latest VAIO Care Update. For my model, it was dated 10/29/2012 and 163.70MB in size, version 8.1.0.10120. Not sure if they have a different version for every different model, but I doubt it.

    Then go to the category called VAIO Update and download and install the latest VAIO Update Software. For my model, it was dated 11/06/2012 and 37.12MB in size, version 6.1.1.10250.

    I haven't seen the VUDesktopToast.exe error since.
