"MSVCP100.dll" is missing when trying to launch a game.

Hello,

I've recently bought and installed Assassins Creed Unity, when attempting to launch the game I receive an error message saying that I am missing MSVCP100.dll. I attempted to google this problem and found that installing all Microsoft Visual C=++'s usually resolves the issue but this isn't the case for me.

I am still missing the file and have no idea how to get it, when searching in sys32 other .dll's can be found but not the one I need.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

where did you bought it from? should be include with the install.

I bought it from Amazon (DVD), MSVCP100.dll is found in SysWOW64 but not System32. Are the .dll's the same can I just copy it from one to another?

It definitely will not hurt anything and I believe someone hear had the same problem and that was the fix. Good luck!

Fixed!

After placing MSCVP100.dll into system 32 I got another error message containing 0xc00007b, I guess I didn't copy all the needed files!

For anyone else having this problem I found this post on Tomshardware, at the bottom (Solution 10). I downloaded the .dll's and placed them into System32 and like magic it works.
