MSVCP100.dll missing in windows 10

Hi. I was updated to Windows 10 this morning and I try to launch some games, I get an error saying ‘The program can’t start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer’. Please help.

This DLL is associated with Visual C++. Windows might have uninstalled Visual C++ when it upgraded. Try downloading and installing Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable (32bit or 64bit based on your system). Or if you have backups of the games, use the installer that comes with the game setup.

I tried to install the latest Visual c++ from Microsoft. But it says that I already have the latest version installed.

Can you uninstall it and install again?

Uninstalled it. Then windows update showed me an update for visual c++ 2012. Updating it resolved the issue. Thanks!
