Far Cry Games won't start

[Drummerz]

Trying to run any Far Cry games that I currently own do not work (Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Far Cry 4, Far Cry Primal). Primarily I want to run Primal as I just purchased it.

I have completed the following troubleshooting tips...
Uninstall/Re-install of Primal
Uninstall/Re-install of Uplay from Ubisoft website

Deleted download cache
Verfied game integrity cache several times

Trying to manually run game from steamapps folder leaves me with the following message:
The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

A quick google search shows that that missing file is from the Visual C++ 2010.

Tried installing Visual C++ 2010 and it encouters a fatal error during installation and will not install.
Examining the log file yields:
MSI (g:\251ddf04eb15ec7a17e0a53dea1f\vc_red.msi) Installation failed.
Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643), "Fatal error during installation. "

Searching this error code on google again leads me to .NET framework issues from 2009...
This leads me nowhere.

I tried manually downloading the dll file and dropping in the 32 bit version in the System32 folder and the 64 bit version in the SysWOW64 folder. When trying to run Primal I now get the error message:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

This implies a file is corrupt or misplaced...

I've also tried disconnecting and re-connecting monitors.
I've disabled and enabled crossfire.


At this point I'm lost. I have no idea how to proceed.

Any and all help is welcome.

Hey Reborn, I actually updated my graphics drivers before writing this post.

Hey Johann, I have Visual c++ 2012 installed. Still nothing.

Still says that I don't have the MSVCP100.dll file.

Any other thoughts?

I fixed such problem for both R6:Siege and FarCry Primal:

Ran that dependency walker (special Software) and it showed me that two files were x86 (32-bit) when all the others were x64 (64bit)
The two files it listed were in the C:\Windows\System32 folder and they were,

mscvr100.dll
msvcp100.dll

I removed these to the desktop and re ran the "vcredist_x64.exe" which is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 4\Support\Software\VCRedist *

you might use same folders from R6:Siege and FarCry Primal:


Game then worked !!
