MSVCP100.dll Missing.

Download this https://mega.nz/#!sspHkAbI!MdS9vOjRrc2dhV6rOjU-Ksj5bIUv\_9rsya\_Jw52uPN0 and put that 2 files in  C:\Windows\System   not in C:\Windows\System32   and it works 100%. That software you want to run want  MSVCR100.dll (x86) not (x64).

PERFECT! Every other method has never worked. I went into this thinking ya right. Its not going to work. Thank you! It certainly did work!

Lol it's just a computer software love. Microsoft employees already did the heavy programming stuff. It has to do with graphics and your computer's ability to display certain things. I think.

I got that pop-up due to a game. After exploring my files, turned out that the "missing" files were actually there, but the game was causing the computer to not have access to the files. My guess is, if uninstalling and reinstalling the software doesn't work, or repairing or upgrading, find the software that is causing the problem then uninstall that as well. 

My personal recommendation?

Try: 

1- Uninstall Microsoft Visual Studios

2- Whatever software you were trying to run might be (most likely is) causing the problem (like something that was cracked or unofficial, most likely.), so you're going to have to uninstall that programme as well.

3- Restart your machine (good to start over fresh)

4- Download and install MVS 2013 (think there's a link to it higher up on the thread).

5- When reinstalling the other programme, go over very carefully the setup instructions of the thing. If it asks you to do anything at all related to MSV from files they provide or files included in their setup folder, skip that step and do the others.

Should be fine after that. 

I also have Windows 10 and this resolved my problem.

My mistake was in thinking the pop-up was related to MVS, but it is actually related to the other programme that you were trying to run when you get the error message. Typically just uninstalling and reinstalling that software should also be fine, but if it had lead you to making any changes to MVS in its setup, then MVS could be compromised. So if you're not sure, best do the whole bit.

And yes, it's necessary because the programme you are trying to run clearly needs it.

I am windows 10 too and I already install it but still the same

how about in windows 10? I already install but still not work

Hi,

Getting the message:

'The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer.Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.'

It's October 21, 2015 and I am getting this message now. I upgraded to Windows 10 a couple weeks ago and never had this problem before the upgrade.

Can Microsoft do an update? I don't know what Visual C++ is...sounds like a programming language so I'm not too comfortable installing it. Do I have to install it?
