VCOMP110.DLL Error

[Grimace the Purple F**k]

I bought this game a couple of days ago and I'm still unable to play it. I keep getting the error "The program can't start because VCOMP110.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this program." I filed a ticket with Frontier and they linked me to a webpage on how to fix the error. Nothing has helped me so far. I've tried reinstalling E:D several time and I've ran the launcher as an adminstrator, ect. The only option I couldn't fully explorer was redownloading Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (which was suggested to me by Frontier). Every time I tried to repair the install it would tell me "Access is Denied". I'm looking for any help so that I can finally play this game.

Thanks

VCOMP110.dll is part of the visual c++ runtime libraries which Frontier have pointed you too.

Save the file and then once it is downloaded find it and run it as administrator.

I just ran it as adminstrator and yet again I got the "0x80070005 - Access is denied." error. So I don't have any idea of what else I can do to get the proper access to repair the file. Any other suggestions?

Try to disable User Account Control in your control panel before installing the runtimes, if it is enabled.

You should be able to uninstall the runtime packages from the control panel.
Try uninstalling and then reinstalling.

I just did that but it didn't allow me to repair the file

Thats a system file.Download the VS 2012 Redistributable. Do not try to download the file from a dll site. That is a very bad idea as there is a high chance all you will get is a virus or malware.

You can also open a command prompt and type sfc /scannow to check if any of your system files are missing or corrupted. Also run anivirus software to see if you alread have a virus or malware that is causing you this problem. MalwareBytes is a free tool that will find malware for you and is very good at it. Also look in your WIndows/System32 folder and see if the file is indeed missing. If its not then its corrupted.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ does that even come up‽ Disabling UAC is one of the worst things you can do. If you're missing runtimes, that means some part of the installer failed, and randomly disabling security features of your OS will not be conducive to further enjoyment of your system.

You have to install "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4".
Generally when installing runtime libraries the user choose the version complying its operating system (64 bit or 32 bit). But The elite dangerous executable seems to be 32 bit (EliteDangerous32.exe). In this case you have to install the 32 bit version of visual C++ redistibutable.
