MSVCP100.dll Missing.

This has been a prolonged annoyance and confusion which I hope has been finally sorted. 

Following instructions I have installed three versions of vcredistx8  and hope this at last gives me peace. 

My thanks to all those helpfuls out there.

Works

I wanted to open this program, but then a pop-up appeared: 

The program can’t start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer.

When i closed it, another pop-up appeared, 

The program can’t start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer.

I installed these files from a dll fix site, but absolutely failed. never install from dll fix sites.

Go here and install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable to successfully repair both dlls.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555 for 32 bit.

Compatitable for all operating systems, includingwindows 10, although at the install place, it dosent say its compatible for windows 10.

Are you updating to Windows 10.

Had the same problem

Missing MSVCR100.dll & MSCVCP100.dll missing

I Guess you are upgrading from Windows 8.1  like I was.

The message the the above .dll files are missing was driving me insane - my wireless internet stopped working as well as several programs failed to open.

Fed up with this - as we all are.

Found simple solution which has resolved the problem, certainly with my laptop pc.  No stupid downloads of .dll files from trusted/untrusted advertisers.

Simple solution to this problem without cost or effort is as follows:

Guess you have uprgaded from a previous version of Windows.

Also guess you had a version of Adovb Reader on youur pc before the update.

Simple solution is to go to Conotrol Panel, access Programs, and uninstall the prior version of Acrobat Reader.

Reboot your PC, the error messages will still appear but ignore them, just click as many times as necessary to

pass them.

Now open a web browser, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, or whatever, then type in Adobe Reader in search box.

When found click in site and Adobe wll recognise and display your pc windows version / operating system and display a DOWNLOAD Button to get the correct version of Reader.

Click the download button and load the correct version of Reader.

I suggest that after downloading, you reboot your pc, and am certain from then on you will not get the error messages occuring. Also that those programs that would not work / open will now do so.

Simple solution to a difficult situation the Microsoft failed to recognize!

Hope this works for you all.

This worked first time :-) Thank you so much

Happy to be of service. I know how difficult it can be to find solutions to problems that company's do not wish to acknowledge as their errors.

Did the job thanks

Alternatively, since i was a little lazy in wanting to uninstall/reinstall acrobat reader, i decided to go the "Repair" route and after a couple of seconds of it installing "new files" it worked like a charm! no more error messages and my games on Steam are working now! :) thanks for the original fix though!

Wow, thank you so much! I had given up, but this really works. I'm so happy now. Can't thank you enough :-)
