Title: Issue running the EFU launcher on Windows 8
Post by: IxTheSpeedy on August 23, 2013, 11:37:14 PM
Hey folks, just tried to run the launcher for the first time and got this:

"The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I think that the DLL mentioned is part of the Visual C++ re-distributable but I shouldn't have to install that manually, no?

NWN runs just fine on its own.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

As listed here (http://www.efupw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81588),
Quote- Download this file (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555) if it says you are missing "MSVCR100.dll"

So I guess it does need to be manually installed? I don't know, I've had an interesting run of playing technical support with haks these recent days, but have no particular knowledge of these things myself!

Thanks Howland.  I assume that the site has a typo and the "R" should be a "P"?  My error had a different DLL listed.  I will try that and see what happens.  Will post back once I do.

Heh, that was fast.  Yup, works like a charm.  This is such a great utility to have developed.  Thanks to everyone that contributed to it.

Incredible.
