The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing...

Question

When I run the SketchUp 2016 portable full registered version, it gave this error:

---------------------------
SketchUp.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

OK

Answer 1

This kind of "MSVCRxxx.dll is missing" error means your Windows lacks of necessary Microsoft Visual C++ components. For msvcr100.dll, you have to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (both x86 and x64).

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
