The program can't start because mfc110u.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"

I have upgraded my laptop Vaio VPCCB35FN to Windows 8 Pro from existing Windows 7 Home premium.  I tried with solutions mentioned in the posts. to remove this error But not successful yet.

This error comes after 5 minutes I login and when I click on "OK", the error does not appear again.

There are no issues with connecting to external drive with system. All are working fine.

Please guide me how to proceed further.

Awaiting for reply.

Thank you,

The problem with my SONY VAIO notebook VPCEH40EB was resolved as follows:

a) I found the executable VUDesktopToast.exe following this path:

Computer> Local Disk (C :)> Program Files> Sony> VAIO Update

b) I found that really there does not exist the file mfc110u.dll

You must download and install the file.

The steps are these:
