Windows 10: msvcr100.dll

Im trying to run dying light but i keep getting a msvcr100.dll not found

:)

 

msvcr100.dll Not There But It Is There..

win10. A new install, two days old.

I have an app complaining it can't run because it can't find msvcr100.dll but a file utility shows it is there and cmd >path shows the folder it is in is in the path.

How could this be?

 

MSVCR100.dll missing, but it is present

First of all, I have downloaded the runtimes suggested in the following answers:

• MSVCR100.dll missing error even its there
  
• WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install
  
• Missing MSVCR100.DLL
  

Which are basically the same, but indicating different versions of the Visual C++ runtime. I tried all combinations of all versions of both 32 and 64 bit runtimes.

This is not a duplicate of either because the problem still ocurrs.

I have recently installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 on a new drive, but when trying to run some programs from the old drive, I get "DLL missing" errors for MSVCR100.dll and MSVCP100.dll.

My first instinct was installing the Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable, but this had no avail. After checking out the answers above, I found later versions of it, but the result was the same. The DLLs were appropriately placed by the installers in the SysWOW64 and System32 folders, yet the programs fail to detect them.

The programs in question are Steam (which despite the errors, still works, except for game updates) and CEMU (which doesn't open at all). I also hear the Windows "error sound" when turning off / restarting the computer, presumably due to those "missing" DLLs.

UPDATE

Even placing the DLLs directly beside the program and running it still causes errors.

What programs can't you open?

On my Win 10 Pro X64 system, msvcr100.dll is in quite a few places:





If you install Everything Search then use it to look for msvcr100.dll you can see all the places it is on your computer and maybe copy from one to the System32 or SysWOW64 directory if that is missing.
