Server 2012 R2 cannot find MSVCR100.dll

Hi Andy,

Sounds like you need the 2010 Visual Studio redistributable
installing: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Cheers,

Roger

It is much easier on everyone using windows if the runtime libraries are statically linked. Generally it is a simple change to the build with no side effects.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=5555 is not for Microsoft Server 2012 R2 which is what the OP (and I) have. Interestingly, the .dll does exist but isn't being found by my software.
