    I tried both methods such as running the SFC scanner thingy twice and both times didn't work and then afterwards I tried method one and whenever I try to run the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (64bit one) to see if it works it says that my computer doesn't have the correct requirements t install this software.

    If you could get back to me as soon as possible that would be much appreciated. :)

    The simplest way to resolve the issue is to first go to your C drive ("My Computer") and type the name of the missing file. Usually it is there but corrupted. Delete said file and then uninstall the version of Microsoft Visual that you have installed. If multiple, uninstall all. Restart your machine  and run Windows update. Install whatever comes. If Microsoft visual doesn't show, search separately and install it

    Conversely, after deleting the file and uninstalling and restarting machine, try to run the programme that initially gave the error. Sometimes they have Microsoft Visual C installer prompt and they can give you a clean install. Also ensure you get the latest version and know whether you're running 32/64b OS so you don't install the incorrect version. That could possibly have caused the prob.

    also, instead of bitching, do some research and familiarise yourself with your machine. If you can't troubleshoot a simple "file missing" error with the preposterous amount of info readily available on the net, you should just give it away to someone more capable

    I spent 3 days reading and trying different ways to fix the MSVCP100.dll error after doing the latest windows 10 update and nothing worked until this. 2 steps and 30 seconds is all it took. WOW! I wish I had seen this one first instead of wasting 3 days....

    I am running Windows 10 and did the sfc scan. This is what it said: 

    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some

    of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For

    example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not

    supported in offline servicing scenarios.

    Now I got no idea what to do. HELP!
