Files mfc100u.dll or msvcr100.dll are missing from your computer

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some time while running some random programs users may see a pop-up with error message "The program cannot start because mfc100u.dll is missing from your computer."

CAUSE: Program throwing the pop-up with error message is dependent on "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package".

RESOLUTION: Depending upon the version of the OS used you may need one of the two versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package. Following are the locations for each package:


Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=13523


The same packages may also fix the issue is errors similar to the following are thrown:

This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem
