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.
Did you read the above posts? The answer is there - call the above number to get a fix from Google ...
Thanks to all. Here is what NIK says on its web site:
When starting Photoshop, or when launching a plug-in from Lightroom, I receive an error "MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer." How do I fix this?
Please download and reinstall the Nik Collection to your computer, either from your original Nik Collection download email, or by downloading the trial from Google.com/NikCollection. This should be version 1.107 of the Nik Collection. If you previously had a registered version of the Nik Collection installed on your computer, installing the trial will simply update the files for you. Make sure that all host applications are closed as you run the installer, and then you should be able to launch the software once again.

I re-installed NIK using the download link in the original email to me after I purchased NIK, and everything is working fine now.
I ran into this problem with Photoshop Elements 10 ... "This application has failed to start because MSVCP110.dll was not found". I dialed NIK Software's Customer Assistance # and selected 2 for Technical Support. The gentleman knew exactly what I was having an issue with and sent me an e-mail fix within a minute. It took several minutes to install. Everything is up and running A-OK.
Thank you everyone above for your help and to crockny65 for the Customer Assistance phone #.
