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?

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

    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.

    Same issue here...

     

    After some investigation I found that it is the VAIO update application that runs in the background.

     

    For now I uninstalled VAIO Update from "Programs" in the control panel - you can easily get to the Control Panel by clicking the Windows Key + "x" and selecting "Control Panel".

     

    Updates are still possible through the "VAIO Care" application, just the checking and notification of updates will stop functioning.

     

    I hope this helps!

    When trying your solutions I get a message "cannot uninstall VAIO update because VAIO care is installed"
