Cannot uninstall or repair SQL 2014 Express: MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer

Hi all,

the error is:

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

I think it has to do with me removing Visual C++ Redistributable 2010.

Anyone any idea how to fix this?

Kind regards,

Erwin

The setup will start after 10 times clicking away this error:

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

But then I get:

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

Unable to load DLL "sqlconf.dll": The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E).

Hello Dave,

this worked:
Reinstall the Visual C++ Redistributable 2010.  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003

In my case I needed the x64 version.

@Jason: wasn't able to try since Dave's solution worked.

Thank you!
Glad you got it working.
