    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.

    Robin

    When migrating from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, I experienced the same problem. 

    This worked for me: Copy files msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll from C:\Windows.old\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 to C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

    Good luck!

    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!
