Game wont start. msvcp110?
I've reinstalled twice, rebooted and a cuple other things but I can't get it to work. When I click the launch button from steam, steam shows I'm playing the game for about 3-5 seconds and then nothing. The game doesn't come up, no proccess running in the background, and steam doesn't even think I'm playing the game. It just doesn't start at all. Going into the files I click the metro.exe and I get an error. It says:

The procedure entry point__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW could not be located in the dynamic link library C:WINDOWS/SYSTEM/MSVCP110.dll.

I checked the location and I found the file, everything seemed fine. I deleted the file and reinstalled, still didnt work. Went to the web and tried the "vcredist_x64.exe" to fix the file or something and that didnt work either.

I've tried very hard to get this game to work but I'm completely out of ideas. Without help, I don't think I'm ever goign to play this game.

you go to dll-files.com search your missing dll (like msvcp120.dll or something) and download newest version of that file, then extract it to C:\Windows\System32

When I try to launch a game it says:
An error occurred while updating Metro 2033 Redux (missing executable): C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Metro 2033 Redux\MetroRedux2033.app
Can you help me?
