Answer 1

• Find the Visual Studio 2010 install iso file.

• Extract cab44.cab file from the ISO.

• Then extract file "F_REDIST_DLL_APPLOCAL_msvcp100d_x86" from the .cab file using 7z.

• Rename the file to msvcp100d.dll.

For x64 version. The cab file name is cab26.cab and the file name is F_REDIST_DLL_APPLOCAL_msvcp100d_x64.

For similar issue such missing msvcr*d.dll for another visual studio version. Here is the way I used to find the answer:

1. Find the Visual Studio ISO.

2. Extract all the .cab file.

3. 7z.exe t *.cab > filelist.txt

4. gvim filelist.txt

searching for the interested file name. Hope this helps.
