Answer 1

Hi shivbh

I do not understand why that error is still showing, those installer will install that dll correctly in your Windows 10, that error should no longer occur . . .

What software are you installing when that error appears?

Answer 2

its during the installation process where it says the MSVCR100.dll file is missing. the message is still showing.

Answer 3

Hi shivbh

Try re-installing one of those applications that rely on MSVCR100.dll to see if that application now recognizes that the C++ Redistributable is now installed . ..

Answer 4

MSVCR100.dll is part of the Visual C++ 2010 Runtime, you must install both the x86 and 64bit version of that runtime, then you must restart (not shut down your PC

But before you do that delete both versions of the MSVCR100.dll you have manually installed

32Bit: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
