• Copy the MSVCR100.dll file
• Paste the file into a network location where the other workstation with the issue has access to like, for example, the shared NPO N drive.
• Go back to the computer that has the issue
• Go to the shared network drive where you copied the MSVCR100.dll and copy it from there
• Paste the MSVCR100.dll to either the c:\windows\system 32 folder or the c:\windows\syswow64 folder on the computer that has the issue depending on if the computer that is having the issue is 32bit or 64bit.
