Windows 10: MSVCP100.dll not found - Windows 11

I am getting an error message on my Microsoft Surface running Windows 11 Home version 24H2: "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I have followed the directions from prior posts about this error message and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x64 and x86. I am still getting the same error message. I also have the following older versions of Microsoft Visual C++ installed: 2010 x64 and 2008 x86.

msvcp100.dll

The first method to try is to download msvcp100.dll inside Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redistributable package. Follow the steps:

• Go to Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC from Official Microsoft Download Center and click on
  Download;
  
• In case you have 64-bit OS, check on both of the versions (x64 and x86, it’s important!), if you have 32-bit OS – check on x86 only and download it to your machine;
  
• Run vc_redist.x86.exe at first, then — vc_redist.x64.exe;
  

After the installation, now you should see msvcp100.dll and other dll in folders C:\Windows\System32\ or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.

That should help you to fix the issue.

Sometimes msvcp100.dll can be accidentally deleted by installation wizard of other app. Check if the file is located in the appropriate folder – C:\Windows\System32\ or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.

 

msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll in C:\

Hello back TPU!

Yesterday I saw two files(msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll) in my C:\ disk folder. What does this mean? I know this two files should be in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 or somewhere in C:\Windows but not in main disk folder. I deleted this files but files appeared again today. Is this a virus or maybe an application? How can I check this?
