MSVCP100.dll was not found

Question

Hi:

 

I am new to C++ programming, please pardon my ignorance if my problem is very simple.

I have build a VC++ project in both VS 2010 and VS2008. Basically, it is a win32 console application. I have no problem executing that in my pc but when I am trying to run it in Windows Vista machine I am getting the following error.

MSVCP100.dll is not found. I looked through the documentation of Runtime Libraries which is mentioned below in that it states the following.

For Standard C++ library MSVCPRT.LIB having characteristics Multithreaded, dynamic link (import library for MSVCP100.dll) with option /MD.

My question is how do I import MSVCP100.dll? OR What do I need so that the user's machine will not have that error.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

If you want to run the executable on another machine, you can install the VC++ redistributable package to ensure the runtime libraries are installed.

Answer 2

One clarification, the build which I generated from VS2008 do not require MSVCP100.dll, Apologize for wrong information.

Answer 3

Thanks Brian, I will update this thread after I install VC++ redistributable package.

Yes, you can just copy those msvc files to your program folder instead (msvcr100.dll, msvcp100.dll, etc), and MFC files if needed.
