The ordinal 12404 could not be located in the dynamic link library mfc90u.dll.

I am getting this error when trying to open Samsung Kies 3 after new installation:  

The ordinal 12404 could not be located in the dynamic link library mfc90u.dll.

This error is almost identical to the one posted **here**, but that error was for ordinal 7426, and is from a couple of years ago.  Nevertheless, I tried the recommended fix (install Visual C++ 2008 SP1) which evidently works for a LOT of people, but this did not change my problem.

I've re-installed and rebooted multiple times, and I've searched my system for the dll that it says cannot be located:

 - C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft.vc90.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.6161_none_044aad0bab1eb146 (Date: 7/25/2014; Size: 4.86mb)

 - C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b81d038aaf540e86 (Date: 9/5/2014; Size: 1.10mb)

 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies3\FirmwareUpdate (Date: 5/7/2014; Size: 3.60mb)

 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies3 (Date: 5/7/2014; Size: 3.60mb)

The first two files appear to be temporary files (the one dated 9/5 may be from today's install of Visual C++).  The last two I know come with the install of Kies 3 -- I searched for the dll both before and after reinstall of the product.

If Kies 3 can't locate the dll in the dynamic link library, perhaps I can copy the dll to that location?  If so, where is that location?

Any other thoughts on how to correct this?  

Windows:  Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1

Kies 3 Installer:  Version 3.2.14083.9

    Downloading the "vcredist_x86" software under the above mentioned link solved all my issues with the "The ordinal 12404 could not be located" error. Now my Samsung smartphone communicates perfectly with my Windows 10 laptop via Kies3.
