MSVCR100.DLL not found on Android Studio launch

Question

I have just installed Android Studio and tried to launch it. But appears the following message and it doesn't start:

MSVCR100.DLL not found

Do I need to install anything else?

Answer 1

That library belongs to Microsoft Visual C++ 2010.

Installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package" will solve your problem.

Depending on the version of your operating system, you should download the appropriate file:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
