All of a sudden I can't go from Lightroom to Photoshop because this message pops up: The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer."  It will eventually open the program but I seem to be missing my hookup to Nik software ... aarrgh - and I don't have a copy of CS6 to reinstall ...

Ok, this file is part of the VisualStudio redist package that Nik should have included; but seems to not have done.

To fix, I went to http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679 and downloaded the Microsoft redist package and installed it (note that there is a 32bit and 64bit version). The package is a .exe that will install itself and includes this dll file.

Hello,

I have just encountered this problem today as well.  As it turns out, it is Google's NIK Collection that is the culprit.  (At least it is for me.)

Google ugraded the collection yesterday.  When you open the software and you have an internet connection, the software will download the upgrade and update the software automatically without your knowledge or consent.  

When I discovered this, this morning, I uninstalled Nik and re-installed the original version.  The software worked after that.  While contacting Google NIK team, the software updated itself again and is now not working!!!

I have been informed by that team that I am the only one having this issue.  OBVIOUSLY NOT!!  There is no way to stop the software from updating itself; which means, I now have a useless piece of software on my machine that I cannot use until Google fixes this problem.

I hope this helps.

    I also talked to a local Microsoft person and he helped me roll the update back to the previous one. When Microsoft updated again (which they do without asking), the error had been corrected, so this file was no longer missing. Hope you can get the same result, if you do it again.

    Same problem after forced Windows 10 update this month. Now my security package won't start. 

    Mine too! I talked a CS person at Microsoft into deleting the unwanted update from my system. I asked him if, now that my system is without it again, Microsoft in its infinite wisdom would flag it as needing the update and give it to me again. He promised it would not. Then he hung up, and the next day Microsoft updated my operating system again. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft. And the system is still broken two weeks later.

    I tried to resolve the problem with some of the internet sites with no luck and as this file killed my security F-Secure I got some malware. I also tried my supplier Talk Talk help line they were very poor and no help

    In the end I went to PC world and to clear it they did a system reset and their support at Coventry were very helpful to me.
