Good day, ladies and gentlemen! If, when starting a game or program, you encounter an error message that says “The program cannot start because msvcp100.dll is missing from the computer” and advice like "Try reinstalling the program" or something similar.

The program cannot start, MSVCP100.dll is missing

Don't be alarmed, this is essentially a standard error about missing library files in the Windows operating system. The whole point is that not all programs and games install additional dlls for normal operation. And in Windows, libraries from the Visual C++ package are not included. So the user has to solve some kind of problem with missing files.

In this article I will talk in detail about the msvcp100.dll file, what this error is and how to fix it yourself. I’ll tell you about two options for eliminating it and preventing it from appearing in the future. Plus, you will already know what to do in such a situation.

IMPORTANT! Do not try to download msvcp100.dll from third-party sites, download only from trusted sources. I will give you a link to the official package from Microsoft, which in most cases will solve the problem with a missing file in the system.

Ask why in most cases? Everything is simple, almost every case is more individual, because... Software and games are all different. But I know one thing, everything can be solved.

I’ll tell you a little about this file, which package the library belongs to, what kind of file it is, and also why it is needed in Windows.

What is the msvcp100.dll error?

The msvcp100.dll library is an important part for running programs and games developed using Microsoft Visual C++. It belongs to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. The system error can be caused by either a missing or corrupted file. As a result, the game or program refuses to launch, or crashes almost immediately after launch.

The library file can be deleted due to the removal of any software from the computer, either by the user himself or when uninstalling games. This error can occur on operating systems such as windows 7, 8 and windows 10

Msvcp100.dll is one of the important components, and its presence in the system is mandatory. Otherwise, nothing will work.

However, the main thing you need to know about this error is that, despite the nature of the cause of its occurrence, it can be corrected using several methods at once.

Solving msvcp100.dll error using Visual studio

As I described above, the file that is missing is a component of the Visual C++ 2010 package, so the surest solution is to reinstall the entire package. In other words, in order to download msvcp100.dll to your computer, you just need to download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 package and install it on your PC. The program will automatically copy the files to the windows system folder and register them. You won't have to do anything else.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION! In some cases, installing a package for x86 OS helps, regardless of the bit depth of your operating system.

You can download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package from the links below in accordance with .

Before installing this package, go to the menu Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Find the Visual C++ 2010 package among the installed programs and remove it (if it is installed, of course).

This is required for the new package to be installed correctly.

Now all that remains is to install the downloaded Visual C++ package, be sure to restart the computer and try to launch the problematic game again.

If you have Windows 10 and a similar error, I made a separate item for the error in Windows 10. Below is the manual mode.

Copying the missing file in windows

In rare cases, when the method described above does not help, you can solve the problem manually by copying it to the system folder. To do this, you need to download msvcp100.dll using a direct link from my website and drop it into the required folders.

Now another question arises, where to throw the downloaded file? The easiest way is to drop the library directly into the folder with the game that refuses to start. This method does not always help, but sometimes it works. A more effective option is to copy the library to the folder with system files. But here again it is necessary to take into account the bit depth of the OS.

For 32-bit OS the file needs to be copied to folder C :\Windows\System32

Having completed copying the library, you can proceed to the final stage of the entire procedure. All manually installed Windows dlls must be registered. To do this, you will need to perform several sequential steps.

If you don’t want to bother registering the library, copy the files to your system folders and try running it. In some cases, registration is not required.

Click the "Start" button, then "Run..." or open the window by pressing Win + R

A window will open in which we enter “regsvr msvcp100.dll” and click"OK" The registration application will then launch and then close automatically. Or you can specify the full path to the dll file, as in the picture above.

If the application does not start or some error occurs, then we fix the problem by replacing the previously entered phrase with “regsvr32 msvcp100.dll” and click again“OK” You can write this way or you can specify the full path to the library.

After registering the library, you must restart your computer. Well, try accordingly.

If the functions performed did not save the situation and the error persists, then it is possible that the reason lies in damage to the OS user profile. In this situation, you need to create another profile with basic settings and run the game in it. Also remember that it is safest to download the above packages and msvcp100.dll for Windows from the official Microsoft website.

What should I do if I have windows 10?

If the annoying “msvcp100 is missing” window appears in Windows 10, then there is also a cure. To get started, install the latest version of Framework 4.5 and the Visual C++ package in version 2015, which should already include msvcp100.dll for Windows 10.

This procedure should resolve the problem automatically, otherwise you will need to additionally install previous builds of Visual C++. In this case, I usually download and install x64 and x32 versions.

Recovering system files

An alternative option for solving the msvcp100 error is to use Windows tools to search for damaged or missing system files in Windows. The system will check for damaged files and restore them.

To do this you need to open the command line , enter sfc/scannow and press the “Enter” button . The process of checking system files will start, until the process is completed, the percentage of completion will continue.

After the check is completed, the system utility will display a message, if it finds problems/errors, then ways to solve them or restore missing or damaged files.

Results of what has been done

As you can see, solving the missing msvcp100 file is possible, and the problem is fixed without much effort and hacking skills. The main thing is not to rush and not to download the necessary packages and libraries from dubious one-page sites.

So as not to mess things up and then look for a solution to another error or problem. The best solution is, of course, to reinstall Visual C++ 2010, which will do everything for you, and not have to worry about copying. But copying a separate library sometimes helps in such a situation. So, see for yourself. I told you the most effective methods that I personally tested.

If you have any questions, or want to add your own methods to the article, write in the comments, I’ll be sure to add it to the note. This will help people who are faced with a problem to easily solve it. Good luck to you, and see you soon in new posts on my website.

Often, a user who tries to launch a game or program encounters an error, and the system notifies him that the program cannot be launched because the msvcp100.dll file is missing. What to do in this case? It is this question that will be answered in today’s article. We will give several ways to solve the problem and, in the end, we will offer you to download the official version of msvcp100.dll for free. Let's get started.

The instructions are suitable for operating systems Windows 7, 8, 10.

Let's move on to solving the current situation.

Solving the problem

So, below you will find 3 effective algorithms for eliminating the problem of the inability to start a program due to a missing msvcp100.dll file.

Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ package

The first and easiest way is to install the entire library. There are several important points here, each of which we will describe along the way. The first thing that should be mentioned is that it is important to download this framework only from the official Microsoft website. The product is completely free, and attackers often modify it by infecting it with malicious code.

Therefore we do it as follows:

1. We go to the official Microsoft Visual C++ website, which, by the way, includes the msvcp100.dll component missing on our PC, select the bit depth of the installed operating system and click the “Next” button.

1. We select the location where we will save the installation distribution and click on the button marked in the screenshot.

1. Attention: if you have Windows x64 Bit, the 32-bit framework also needs to be downloaded and installed. Therefore, we return to the download page and select it.

1. We save the component to the same location on your computer.

1. As a result, we should have 2 files (if the operating system is x64 Bit). They should be installed one by one.

1. After launching the library, click the “Install” button.

Please note that this procedure requires administrative rights.

1. We are waiting for the installation to complete.

1. We complete the process by clicking on the button marked with a red frame.

Microsoft Visual C++ comes in several different versions. For example, there may be an edition from 2015, 2013 or 2010. You need to install all generations or do this until the program that generates the error starts working.

After installing the library, be sure to restart your PC.

On x32 Bit OS, only the 32-bit framework should be installed. In order to determine the bit depth of the system, you need to use the hotkey combination Win + Pause Break.

Manual installation of msvcp100.dll

1. Switch the control panel view to “Category” mode (marked with the number “1”) and click on the “System and Security” link.

1. We go to the point indicated in the screenshot.

1. Here is the type of operating system you are using. In our case, this is Windows 10 x64 Bit. Let's remember and move on.

1. Open Windows Explorer using the icon on the taskbar, a shortcut on the desktop, or in the Start menu.

1. If you have a 32-bit OS, go to the specified path and place the downloaded msvcp100.dll in the system directory.

C:\Windows\System32

1. For 64-bit operating systems, we throw the component in another place.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64

1. If necessary, replace an existing file.

After this, be sure to restart the computer and try to launch the application that was throwing an error related to the inability to start the program due to the missing msvcp100.dll file.

You can also try dropping the .dll in the folder with the problematic program or game (specifically, in the directory that contains the executable file). In some cases this is what helps.

Recovering system files

1. In the window that opens, enter the command below and press Enter.

sfc /scannow

1. We are waiting for the system file check to complete. This process usually takes about 10 minutes.

1. In our case, no errors were found. If you have them, the operating system will fix the failures on its own.

As in the previous case, after completing the scan and repair, be sure to restart your computer.

Using a recovery disk

The previous option did not help you and the error leading to the inability to launch the program due to missing msvcp100.dll remains, which means we are moving on to a more effective method of dealing with it.

1. We will “treat” the operating system using a recovery disk. Although, it is much easier and more convenient to do this from a flash drive, it is with its example that we will show further instructions. Download the official tool from Microsoft called . The utility is discussed in more detail in. Once the .exe file is downloaded, run it.

1. By clicking the button marked in the screenshot, accept the terms of the license agreement.

1. Switch the checkbox to the position marked with the number “1” and click the “Next” button.

1. Select the bitness that matches your operating system and proceed to the next step.

1. Insert the flash drive into the USB port of the computer (the drive size must be at least 8 GB), switch the checkbox to the “USB flash memory device” position and click the button marked with a red frame.

1. Make sure that your memory card is marked here and only then press the designated button.

1. Wait until the operating system downloads from the official Microsoft website. The file weighs more than 3 GB, so the process can take a long time on slow connections.

1. Next, the downloaded distribution will begin recording to a file on the hard drive, or, in our case, on an SSD drive.

1. Finally, click the “Done” button.

1. We reboot the computer, starting from our boot drive. To do this, you need to press the Boot Menu button when starting the PC or set the boot priority in the BIOS. You can read more about setting it up in.

1. At the next stage, select the button marked in the screenshot below.

1. Then, instead of installing Windows, select the link surrounded by a red frame.

1. Select the item “Troubleshooting”.

1. Click on the “Return to previous version” tile.

We wait for the procedure to complete and check whether the problem of the inability to start the program due to the missing msvcp100.dll has disappeared. If the error still appears, we move on to our last, most radical option.

Reset to factory settings

So, this option is only suitable for the new Windows 10 operating system. It is precisely this that introduced the function of rolling back to factory settings. Let's see how it works:

1. Go to Windows Settings by opening the Start menu and selecting the icon indicated in the screenshot.

You can do the same using the hotkey combination Win + I.

Save my files. All user data remains intact. Only Windows system components are restored. In theory, this option can help, but if the PC owner’s applications are to blame for the error, only the second option will correct the problem of the inability to launch the program due to the missing msvcp100.dll file.

Delete everything. Using this method will delete all data, including your files. As a result, you will get what looks like a freshly installed Windows.

1. All that remains is to wait for the Windows reset process to complete. On our test PC it took about half an hour.

1. As a result, the computer will reboot and our operating system will be fixed. It's time to move on to checking the program that "did not want" to start due to the missing msvcp100.dll.

If it doesn't help...

You have the msvcr100.dll library on your system, but Windows stubbornly does not see it - this may be due to the fact that your user profile is damaged. Try creating another user profile and launch the application from under it. Also, try updating the packages

Microsoft Visual C++ is an important component of the Windows system. Without it, you will have problems with programs written in C++. Games often complain that Msvcp100.dll is missing from the computer. Fans of the game Watch Dogs regularly encounter this problem, but the error also occurs in other works in the gaming industry. Typically, the game itself downloads the necessary libraries to the computer during the installation process. The exception is pirated copies of games, which may not contain the Msvcp100.dll library. Sometimes they install a modified version, which then refuses to work. Antiviruses do not like games downloaded from torrents and can delete the library immediately after installation.

There are different options to fix the error:

• Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 package
• Msvcp100.dll download for Windows 7/8/10

First, try reinstalling the entire C++ library package. It can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft website. There you will find the 2010 and 2012 versions. For Windows XP and earlier versions of the seven, you need to download Visual C++ 2010, and for Windows 7 SP1 and higher, the 2012 version is suitable. Before starting the download, it is important to determine the system bit depth - 32/64 bit. You can view it by right-clicking on “My Computer” and selecting “Properties”. There will be a column “System type”, in which you can find out the bitness of your copy of Windows, so that you can then download the appropriate package. After installing Visual C++, be sure to restart your computer. Now the cherished game should work.

If the error continues to appear, then you can download the library itself and put it in the system folder. You can download the Msvcp100.dll file for free on our website.
