msvcr100.dll error (solved)

Post by benckoch »

I am trying to run on win 8.1 x64

I placed the belzebub in my c:\diablo folder with the game files. I have found placing in program files x86 causes issues.

I get a msvcr100.dll missing error.

Tried installing/rebooting microsoft c++ 2010 and the latest 2015, still getting the error.

Downloaded the .dll from dll-files.com

If I place a x32 or x64 .dll in c:\windows\system32 I get a msvcr100.dll missing error.

If I place a x32 .dll in c:\diablo I get a msvcr100.dll missing error.

If I place a x64 .dll in c:\diablo I get a 0xc00007b error.

Edit: I Pulled out an old laptop running XP. Installed diablo and Beelzebub. I got a msvcp100.dll error. Installed x32. Then a msvcr100.dll error. Installed x32. Then an opengl error. That got me thinking. I then put both the x32 msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll on my 8.1 machine now Beelzebub runs. So I had to add a .dll file that did not show up in the error message.

As far as I know u need to install Microsoft visual c++ 2005 (?) redistributional. Try installing both for x86 and x64 architecture.

Just wanted to chime in about placing such .dll files on the machine when a program says they're missing.

You should avoid placing them in the Windows folder unless you're absolutely certain you have to. Placing them there makes them available to all programs and things can just get worse from there.

Instead when a program says a .dll is missing place it in the program's folder, in the same folder as the running .exe for that program. As things will first check that folder (their own folder) before resorting to the Windows\etc folder. Also placing it in the programs folder means it won't interfere with other programs which may access it due to being in the Windows folder.

msvcr100.dll error (solved) On Windows 10 , and Windows 11
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (both x64 and x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (both x64 and x86) Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (both x64 and x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (both x64 and x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (both x64 and x86)

Not as common on Win10, but on Windows 11 you have to install like all of these.
( 2010 X86 is what worked for me on windows 11 64 bit... )
