I'm surprised by how many people have this problem. I got my hands on most C++ redistribution packages simply by installing and playing games. (A lot of them require you to install them, and they all install both x86 and x64 versions.) The only versions I am missing are those of 2013.

Anyway, the DLL should be in SysWoW64 (c:\windows\syswow64). If it isn't, indeed install Visual C++ Redistr. 2012 Update 4 x86 (32 bit) (version 11.0) (see link in the post above)

SysWoW64 contains all the x86 (32 bit) DLLs by the way. Very confusing on the folder name.

Yup. Not Microsoft's fault though.
Microsoft had to shunt the 32-bit stuff into that folder and keep the 64-bit stuff in the system32 folder because of backwards compatibility with badly written software that directly tries to access the "C:\Windows\System32" path, instead of using the proper Windows API methods to fetch the location of the system folder.

Not having any luck at all with this even when i tried all the stuff in the thread about the other issue.

I already got 2010 x64 & x86 along with 2012 x64 & 86 plus some from 2008 which likely don't matter yet l still can't get the error to go away.

Any other ideas?

Not really, sorry.

Can you take a look in your %systemdrive%\windows\syswow64 folder to see if it is there? Because if it is, then that means that the program cannot access it for some reason.

Maybe it looks specifically for "C:\windows\syswow64\msvcp110.dll" and not for "%systemdrive%\windows\syswow64\msvcp110.dll". It would be weird, but if that is the case, IF-chan would need to do some edits in the programming, since not everyone has Windows installed on the C: drive. (naming a weird example here)

If the file isn't there, I guess you would need to reinstall Visual C++ 2010 x86 and Visual C++ 2012 x86 redistributal packages. If that doesn't help, then something is terribly weird and my head would fill with questions like: " Why would windows not allow the file to be placed there? "

xD

I'll quote myself for the links.

Get them here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 (2010 x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632 (2010 x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 (2012u4 both)

You shouldn't really need SP 1, but if you want to, here are the links.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 (2010 SP1 x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523 (2010 SP1 x64)

You could also try Windows Update, but I assume you already do.

[chuckberts]

As for SysWOW64 it is there. I have
msvcp110_clr400.dll
msvcp71.dll
msvcp110.dll
msvcp100.dll
msvcp60.dll

Just finished reinstalling game from external drive over to C drive where windows is in case that would help but no luck there either. Tried switching startup settings for it to run as administrator in case for some off the wall reason that was causing an access issue, but that didn't change anything. Guess i'll just wait another week or so and see if other fixes they do over the next week somehow fix it.

You can find the correct Microsoft Visual C++ version in the installation directory of the game. To be more specific _CommonRedist,vcredist,2010 there you will find the correct files you need. Run both installers. In almost every Steam game you find the necessary tools inside the game folder under the folder _CommonRedist. Sometimes Steam fails to install these tools when you launch the game, you have to run them manually. The problem with Visual C++ is that you need to have the exact version, I mean the most recent version doesn't contain the previous versions.

For users with this problem, the 2010 version was not working. They had to install the 2012 version from microsoft's website.

[niels.v.d.sype]

Strange, because normally the developers always supply the correct redistributables that are necessary to be able to run the game. I had 2012 already installed and now 2010 was installed. I did some digging in my other games so far only 2010 version was included. But in Dying light 2012 was included together with 2010. Sometimes it could also be a corrupt installation that causes it.

From what I am hearing on this problem, you have to go directly to the Microsoft site and download the drivers direct for 2012. You can run 'repair' and it will hopefully fix the issue of the missing DLL.

Yo Ive been having this problem myself and after installing Visual C++ I stiil couldn't get to work as instead it now kept saying error:0Xc000007b from there I went on try using all in on runtime packages to fix it but that still didn't work I then wondered if maybe looking to openGL would do the trick which then took me to this page "https://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_Started" which from there in my case I have an AMD Graphic card so I selected "AMD/ATI" so from here on out if you don't have AMD i cant get help you from here but you can try selecting the one you have and trying to figure out from there but going back to what I was saying once it had opened the AMD webpage "http://support.amd.com/en-us/download" I then hit download now button which then download a web install which will detect what graphic card you have and some other features and then download the needed drivers which then you will need to go on to install of course but once that was done the game works though the only problem now is that its to late for me to start playing so I have no idea how it will perform but I hope this helps you at least starting the game.

@SSJ6Andrew
So, your video card's driver software wasn't up to date? I can't believe I haven't thought of that when I posted that one message from before. xd

You can search for drivers with Steam too by the way.

I had errors of missing files MSVCR110.dll and MSVCP110.dll.
As some forums suggested i copyed the two files from c:\windows\system32 to HOMM3 instalation folder ....\steam\steamapps\common\Heroes of....

What that did was give me another error when running the game Error code 0xc000007b. So i went balistic on google, nothing. And so i experimented. Finnaly deleted the MSVCR110.dll and MSVCP110.dll from HOMM3 folder, and i got them from win 7 pro 64bit machine (that had working HOMM3 steam) from the folder c:\windows\syswow64 and put those two dll to HOMM3 directory. (*Maybe you can take dll's from your win 10 machine from syswow64 and put them into HOMM3 folder - but i didn't try that...*)
Bingo the game was able to start.

Now i can hear the sound but i have only black screen, and a mouse cursor...
I don't have two graphic cards as some say it plays on a weaker card...

Working my ass off here.

If anyone can get help from this post im happy, i also accept steam donations to my account, from players and developers ;)
