Jakub Feik 6

Hello.
When isntalling files, mostly including but not limited to cracks, i get the error that MSVCR100.dll is missing. This is the error i am getting, it is always the same.

Things i tried:

Uninstalling all C++ Redistributables and reinstalling them using https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/
Disabling antivirus (ESET) and adding the file to exclusions.
Doing sfc /scannow
Uninstalling C++ Redistributables, Doing the disk clean up, Cleaning the registry using https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-registry-cleaner.html, Installing the redists using https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/MultiPack-Visual-C.shtml
Doing number 4. in safe mode
Uninstalling all the redists using Windows Troubleshooter, and install them back using https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/MultiPack-Visual-C.shtml
Doing number 6. in safe mode

Despite everythhing the error still occurs. Thank you for any help.

If needed, these are the C++ Redistributables currently installed:

For some reason, I think possibly some old installer "installed" the MSVCR100.DLL for you but got saved in virtualized folder instead, and it confused the other installers afterwards.

Try copy the MSVCR100.DLL in your system32 (for x64 programs) or SysWOW64 (for x86 programs) folder to the same folder as your application and see if it works.

Hi,

MSVCR100.dll = Visual C++ 2010 Runtime

I suggest you could try to download the followings:

32 bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555

64 bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14632

If issue still persists, I suggest you to run SFC scan. System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. For more details I suggest you could refer to the ink: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/system-file-check-sfc-scan-and-repair-system-files/bc609315-da1f-4775-812c-695b60477a93

Best Regards,

You may need to download "Microsoft Build Tools 2015" as well.

This is what fixed my problem.

Installation does not work, every time I try to install Build Tools I get this message "A setup package is either missing or damage"
You need to download offline installation (.ISO) from this link: https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=visual%20C+&pgroup=

Microsoft has disabled this DLL registration and repair tool unless you buy an MSDN subscription. Retail users can't get DLL to register, and they are offering $200 in Azure crap for paying a monthly fee! Microsoft fails to register DLL. In the old days you used to right click on a DLL and hit "install" which worked. Back in windows 98, 2000, even Vista, you could register DLL. Now it requires a subscription to use software. This paywall hidden behind a broken installer is simply unacceptable, and I hope that Azure+M$ Office get replaced.

P.S. Microsoft also has failed to figure out how to manage a "login" technology that scales across their different acquisitions. From Skype to developer tools to office, redundant fails on login.

So looks like the initial problem is unsolvable? Getting the same "missing msvcr100.dll" error despite this file is present in Windows folders.
