Hi,

I originally had windows 8 PRO where facebook calling was working fine.

I upgraded to 8.1 PRO on 17th, since then am unable to see the Facebook video calling button. I also frequently get the msvcr110.dll was not found error.

  1. I have tied all solutions posted on this forum like do a clean boot, uninstall - install etc.
  2. Microsoft Fix it page says "We're sorry, but your operating system is not supported by Microsoft Fix it at this time."
  3. Tried running in compatibility mode.
  4. I even tried downloading .net frame work and C+ redistribution, but it says system already has the latest software.
  5. I also see some event errors in the event logger:

Faulting application name: FacebookVideoCalling.exe, version: 1.2.0.287, time stamp: 0x50775885

Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

    Try to run your browser in windows 8 mode. It worked with Chrome, I haven't try with IE yet.

    Hi,

    When you run in compatible mode, it shows the icon but keeps asking for installation.

    It does not work....
