Windows 10-64bit and last year's Unigine Benchmarks

When I install Heaven and Valley, either one throws up an error box on startup which says the program cannot find MSVCP100.dll.

(I think that was the name of the library. We should all take meticulous notes on our systems, but the hands were too busy at the keyboard.)

Supposedly, this was an item in an MS Visual C++ redistributable or runtime library.

Any suggestions? I think I installed the 2013, 2012 and 2010 redistributables. I think I only installed the x64 version for 2012.

I can see I will also have to track down event-log errors, although I see that after the last reboot, my Application and System logs are all "in the blue."

Yep, ran into that issue myself on a recent clean install.
You need to install the 2012 vcredist_x86.exe. (and the 2012 vcredist_x64.exe which you stated you did already)

That is from Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package...should have worked.

I guess I need to double-check if all the x86 libraries were installed.

I'm hopeful, since MTDEW said it seemed to fix it. I remember having parallel troubles with my first Windows 7 system, and my luck wasn't that good. I eventually found the software and version that needed the missing library, uninstalled it, and probably got a later version.

We-ull, Pill-grim! You were right about that. I was still missing the x86 2010 library after I followed MTDEW's cue -- which was nevertheless correct. I may not have mentioned what I had or didn't have from the 2010 library.

So second pass -- "We're in bid-nis! Deaf-in-at-ely!" [Saving Private Ryan]
