Windows 10: Trying to run an old program on windows 11 and getting the same error for both MSVCR100.dll...

Error is "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Have unistalled and reinstalled Visual C++ redistributables from 2005, 2012, and 2015-2022 both x86 and x64. Nothing seems to work. Tried running "regsvr32 msvcr100.dll" and with msvcp100.dll. In both cases get same error like this:The module "msvcr100.dll" was loaded but the entry point DllRegisterServer was not found.Make sure that "msvcr100.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.Any help greatly appreciated.

MSVCR100.dll missing, but it is present

First of all, I have downloaded the runtimes suggested in the following answers:

• MSVCR100.dll missing error even its there
  
• WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install
  
• Missing MSVCR100.DLL
  

Which are basically the same, but indicating different versions of the Visual C++ runtime. I tried all combinations of all versions of both 32 and 64 bit runtimes.

This is not a duplicate of either because the problem still ocurrs.

I have recently installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 on a new drive, but when trying to run some programs from the old drive, I get "DLL missing" errors for MSVCR100.dll and MSVCP100.dll.

My first instinct was installing the Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable, but this had no avail. After checking out the answers above, I found later versions of it, but the result was the same. The DLLs were appropriately placed by the installers in the SysWOW64 and System32 folders, yet the programs fail to detect them.

The programs in question are Steam (which despite the errors, still works, except for game updates) and CEMU (which doesn't open at all). I also hear the Windows "error sound" when turning off / restarting the computer, presumably due to those "missing" DLLs.

UPDATE

Even placing the DLLs directly beside the program and running it still causes errors.

Error message MSVCR100.dll


What programs can't you open?

On my Win 10 Pro X64 system, msvcr100.dll is in quite a few places:





If you install Everything Search then use it to look for msvcr100.dll you can see all the places it is on your computer and maybe copy from one to the System32 or SysWOW64 directory if that is missing.
