msvcr100.dll when trying to launch

Issue #60 resolved
Paul created an issue

Brand new Windows 10 Pro installation and I'm trying to launch xkeybrew.exe after extraction and I'm getting the following error.

 "The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"

It doesn't appear that this software "XKEYBREW" actually performs an install so I'm alittle confused. It runs fine on a Windows 10 Home install that I have upstairs. I even tried reloading windows 10 Pro again and the same error.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong or is this a coding problem?

    Could not have explained it better than the first result I found on google :

    "Programs and applications often require other files to be present on your computer, but sometimes this isn't the case. DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library and these files are used by many programs. MSVCR100.DLL is a Microsoft Visual C++ file and is required by applications which uses Visual C++"

    Put it in another way : this file is required by xbw to work properly. Most often this file is already on your system but sometimes you have to manually download it and put it in the right place.

    Simply follow the steps explained here and you should be good to go.

    Thanks for the update and information as I already read that page and it did not correct the issue.

    What I did end up doing to correct the issue was add the .dll file that is contained in your package (instead of the default windows one) and put it in the root directory of your package and that fixed the error. Seems like there is a path issue in the coding of this software or something....only my guess.

    Again, thanks for the support!
