msvcr100.dll is a component of the Visual C ++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2010. The application you are running is trying to access this dynamic link library (DLL), but it cannot do so for one reason or another, which is why you get this message. Why is this happening? There are several logical reasons for this: the requested DLL is damaged, modified, or is completely absent from the system.

Reinstall Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010

It is very easy to fix the msvcr100.dll missing error by installing / reinstalling Visual C ++ 2010 on your computer. Reinstallation should be done by those people who have this redistributable package already installed on the system. The reinstallation process is as follows:

  • open the control panel (Win + R → control);
  • go to the “Programs and Features” section;
  • Find all Visual C ++ 2010 packages in the list of installed software;
  • right-click on them and select “Delete”.

You can install Microsoft Visual C ++ 10 directly from the official Microsoft website. Use these links to download the required package:

The main thing is to choose for yourself the version of the package that is suitable for the bitness of your Windows OS. To check the bitness of the system, you need to open the control panel and go to the “System” section. The information you need will be in the “System type” line.

The installation of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 is completely automatic: you just need to launch it and follow the further instructions on your screen. Once the installation process is complete, restart your PC and try launching the program / game that previously had an error with msvcr100.dll.

Installing the msvcr100.dll library with your own hands

Just want to warn you: do not try to download msvcr100.dll from the first available web resource on the Internet! Installing DLL libraries manually is an extremely risky business and should only be dealt with if the classic installation of the redistributable packages for some reason did not work.

So, to manually install msvcr100.dll on your system, you need to do the following:

  1. get msvcr100.dll from a trusted source, for example, your friend’s PC;
  2. copy the library to directories such as C: Windows System32 and C: Windows SysWOW64
  3. press Win + R, write regsvr32 msvcr100.dll and press Enter;
  4. reboot the PC.

An interesting fact: sometimes you can get rid of such an error by copying the file indicated in the message directly to the root folder of the application itself. Try it, it might work for you too.
