WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install

When I tried to install WAMP, that popped up the following alert,

I clicked OK, it continued to install WAMP. When I start, the WAMP logo is always 'yellow'. It isn't turning 'green', meaning there's something wrong. What exactly is the MSVCR100.dll file? How do I obtain it and fix this error?

The MSVCR100.dll file is part of the Microsoft Visual C++, redistributables. You can install them and see if this solves your problem. After you install the above check if your wamp installation is correctly setup. Search for "my wamp icon stays orange" posts.

UPDATE 2019 > Wampserver 3 requires Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 > You can download it at: > https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 > There you can select the x86 or x64 version depending on your system

This article on the WampServer forums shows all the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries you need to have installed on your system for each version of WampServer. To quote:

> For Windows 32 : Be sure that you have installed the Visual C++ 2010 > SP1 Redistributable Package x86 : VC10 SP1 vcredist_x86.exe > > http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328 > > > For Windows 64 : Be sure that you have installed the Visual C++ 2010 > SP1 Redistributable Package x64 : VC10 SP1 vcredist_x64.exe > > http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523 > > > Apache will not run without this component > > In fact if you are running the 64bit Windows it is a good idea to install all the 32bit libraries as well as the 64bit ones. After all 64bit windows runs 64 and 32 bit code. You will probably find you need at least one of the 32bit runtimes for some app/utility you will install at some point.

UPDATE

If you are running WAMPServer 2.5 you also need the VC11 redist. Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012

29.08.2014 with WAMP 2.5 I agree that VC11 is needed and it is not a bad idea to have previous distributions installed. It will be needed by other application. I am not sure if you need bit 32 version

UPDATE Aug. 3rd 2016

As I was informed by Fred -ii- (many thanks by the way) the link for the post in the wamp forums doesn't work anymore. Since I could not find the original link you can try http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,138295. It has lots of info and may help you.

For me none of the above answers worked so I am adding what worked for me. I first installed the files mentioned in the accepted answer and when that not worked, I downloaded files from this link and it started working.

So I think 2012 distribution is also needed (I am using window7 home basic 64 FYI).

I solved this problem by installing this one : http://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=30679

Be sure to remove wampserver and reinstall it again

Note: I'm using Windows 7 32 bits

Most of the time you will have to install both x86 and x64 !

Links here: x86 and x64

They are the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package

(it happened to me when installing MySQL Workbench)

I have tried all the above answers but still the same error was throwing up. Later I found this in WAMP Forum and finally my WAMP works !!!

If you are using WampServer 2.5 on a 64bit Windows You will need both the 32bit and 64bit versions of this runtime.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (www.microsoft.com)

Press the Download button and on the following screen select VSU_4\vcredist_x86.exe Press the Download button and on the following screen select VSU_4\vcredist_x64.exe

Today I installed Wamp server 3.0.6 (x64) on a Windows 10 machine with VS2017 installed. I had many Visual C++ Redistributable Packages installed, but not the 2012 one. Then I installed it and now I can run the Wamp server. You can find a download link here.

Just ran on this issue. Issue was at same OS (Win7 HB x64) as in this answer. I used gaurav's advice and successfully started WAMP.

I wanted to add that you don't need Visual C++ 2010 versions when using 2012 version (at least in this case).

I had the same problem but none of the answer above worked. Here's what did the job for me:

1. download msvcr110.dll, msvcr120.dll, msvcp120.dll and vcruntime140.dll from dll-files.com
2. Copy them into System32
3. Uninstall wamp
4. Reinstall wamp

Edit: Since I have encountered the same issue again, I have noticed that my previous solution did not work; as well as any other solution posted here. I am using Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit).

This time, I have placed the 'MSVCR100.dll'file (downloaded as a ZIP, then extracted onto Desktop and then copied) into a C:\Windows folder http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr110

and then installer WAMP Server, 64BIT. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/

Then, I have downloaded and installed: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679

filename: vcredist_x64.exe

I have only tested it with the PHP from a command-prompt, since I do everything else on a server and not a local-host.

Although it works for what I need to use it

Running: >php gives Failed loading php_xdebug-2.2.5-5.5-vc11.dll

>php -v -WORKS!

Please let me know if this worked for you or not or if there is something else I need to do to improve the fix.

I have installed the new WAMP 2.5, i have windows 8 x64 bit. I have tried All the above solutions but it didn't work with me and the WAMP icon stays Orange. the thing that works with me is:

1. uninstall the current WAMP x64 bit
2. install this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
3. Download and install the WAMP server for x32 bit.
4. Chose Firfox as the browser.

I hope that i will help somebody searching for this answer

If you don't understand anything then download vcredist_x86.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 . It will solve your problem.

After downloading all the libraries said by ezaoutis, the error message on my windows 10 persisted, reading the wampserver3.1.3 installation requirements, there was a verification tool called check_vcredist.exe , i ran it and it show me all the missing libraries and it's download links, so i finally could install it succesfully.

This tool will check for missing packages and also give you download link for packages. .
If you are on windows 64 bit then you need to install both x86 and x64 packages
link to download the tool:

For me problem did not resolve even after installing VC++ re-distributions. I had to manually download MSVCR110.dll file from https://www.dll-files.com/msvcr110.dll.html and placed it in c:/ > windows > system32 and it worked correctly.

To solve this issue you have to install all Microsoft redistribution packages 2010,2012(x86 and x64) than uninstall wampserver from control panel and reinstall new copy of wamp server this error will be get fixed

Installing just vcredist_x64.exe from Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 fixed the issue for me.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic 64 bit and installed WampServer 2.5

I encountered this problem when my operating system was in French, and I was installing Wampserver in English.

I am pretty sure that Microsoft Redistributable packages were installed since I was already working with Visual Studio. I think the issue may have been because of changes in path names with different languages. However, when I installed wampserver in French, everything worked perfectly.

Some times you have to install all versions or a bunch of them.

Anyone who has not found above answers useful , take a look at here

When installing Wamperserver 3 on windows 10, it now gives a nice big warning during the install telling you it won't work unless you install many of these packages.

It worked for me after I followed the instructions and then restart the computer and reinstalled.

Visual C++ 2013 Update 5 Redistributable Package fixed issue for me. Download link:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3179560/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package

Went quite easy. I only needed to install these 2 versions in this order:

Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013

Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

1. Uninstall WAMP

2. Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019

   Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4

   Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 x86

   Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 x64

• Note :- Download both x86 and x64 versions if you are using 64 bit O/S

3. Install both x86 and x64 versions of Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019

4. Intsall WAMP again. That's it. All the problems will solve.
