Hi Rizarose,

Firstly, please use Verification Tool to verify .Net Framework 2.0. If .Net Framework 2.0 cannot be verified on your computer, you can try to follow the steps mentioned in the following blog to repair the .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows Vista.
See: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/03/26/how-to-repair-the-net-framework-2-0-and-3-0-on-windows-vista.aspx

Secondly, if the NET Frameworks is successfully verified, could you please try to use collect tool to collect the log files of Visual Studio 2005 from your "%temp%" folder?
http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2008/05/09/visual-studio-and-net-log-collection-utility.aspx

You can upload your log files to SkyDrive and post the link back here.

Steps:

Try to clean your "%temp%" folder
Install Visual Studio 2005
(The installer must be run with administrator privileges - Right-click the installer >> "Run as Administrator")
Collect the logs from "%temp%" folder
Upload vslogs.cab file

After installing Visual Studio Express 2010 Beta 2 I also got the missing msvcr100.dll. I never got this issue in Windows XP x86, it only happened to me in Win7 x64.

My solution was simple: Place/Copy the DLL in the System32 folder. I found a local copy of the DLL in the SysWOW64 folder. Hence the following command: copy %windir%\SysWOW64\msvcr100.dll %windir%\System32\msvcr100.dll

I am facing similar issue.

I have VS Prof. 2010 RC running on my XP 32 bit, but I am building a Windows Service application for a x86-64 bit (Server 2008 x86-64) deployment. I am able to build for 64 bit, copy the binary over to Windows 2008.

I installed the latest VS 2010 Shell (integrated) RC package on Server 2008 x64 system.

My service, when I try to install fails with "cannot find MSVCR100.dll".

I also saw that there is a copy of these in SYSWOW64 directory, but they don't work either.

So I thought may be MS has not come around to properly releasing a clean redistributable package for 64 bit VS 2010. So I tried building this by installing VS 2008 prof. SP1 on my XP system. Now more woes - I don't even see the 64 bit platform in the configuration manager - so I can't even build for 64 bit from my XP 32 bit system?

Any help?

Thanks

Mani

Wow,

For the most part I had all these errors: MSVCR100.DLL AND the Document Explorer error and I had to cleanly uninstall vs 2010. I had installed a lot of the components....

Go in there and clean that sucker out!

_{Wednesday, July 21, 2010 4:40 AM}

Worked perfectly on my Win 7 Pro x64!!! Thanks!

Here is what i did:

When I looked in the System32 directory, I found a file named msvcr100_clr0400.dll. I simply made a copy of it and renamed it to** msvcr100.dll**. The file was placed in the system32 folder

This program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer? ... where is this dll normally found? and hhow can I get it again?

I managed to fix this missing MSVCR100.dll error by installing the 2010 C++ Visual Studio redistributable at:

I had the same problem on a Windows XP machine after I removed a Visual Studio 2010 beta (not the release!). VSCRT100.dll is apparently part of it. Somehow its installation has caused the .NET framework to refer to it, even when running .NET 2.0 applications (created with Visual Studio 2005) or the Visual Studio 2005 installer. (They should refer to VSCRT70.dll instead - that file was still present on my machine.)

Installing .NET Framework 4 resolved the problem - but it's a bug of some sort, probably resolved in the VS 2010 release.
