What Causes the MSVCP/MSVCR DLL Errors?
If you're trying to launch Flawless Widescreen but encounter one of the following error messages:
“The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.”
“The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.”
“The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR70.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.”
Don’t worry, this is a fairly common issue, and thankfully, the fix is simple. These types of DLL errors are related to missing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages that many applications, including Flawless Widescreen, rely on to function correctly.
The MSVCP and MSVCR files are part of Microsoft’s Visual C++ Redistributable packages. These packages install essential runtime components required by programs built using Microsoft Visual Studio. If these components aren’t present or have become corrupted, applications like Flawless Widescreen won’t be able to run and will throw DLL-related errors.
How to Fix Flawless Widescreen Missing MSVCP100.DLL, MSVCR100.DLL, MSVCR70.DLL Error
To fix these errors for Flawless Widescreen, follow these steps:
Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages
Head over to Microsoft’s official website and download the following:
- Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2008
- Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2010
- Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
Make sure to download the correct version based on your operating system’s architecture:
- For 64-bit systems, download the x64 version.
- For 32-bit systems, download the x86 version.
Note: If you have a 64-bit system and still have problems, install the 32-bit version as well. This seems to work for some people.
Install each redistributable and follow the on-screen instructions. Once completed, restart your computer to finalise the changes. If you don't restart, the problem won't go away. After the restart, try launching Flawless Widescreen again. In most cases, the program will now start without any errors. If you still get a DLL error message, install the rest of the Visual C++ database. You can find a bulk installer here.
Alternate Fix (Highly Illadvised)
If, for some reason, the official redistributables don’t solve the issue (which is rare), you can manually download the missing DLL files from third-party sites like https://www.dll-files.com. However, proceed with caution:
Be sure to match the DLL file to your system’s architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
Only download from trusted sources to avoid malware.
Place the downloaded DLL file in C:\Windows\System32 for 64-bit or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 for 32-bit files.
Note: This method is riskier and should be your last resort. If you have access to another working computer with Flawless Widescreen installed, it's safer to copy the missing DLL files from there instead.
