Hi there,


I am trying to install Unity via the Unity Hub Installer. Upon installing and trying to launch the Unity program, I get an error message saying the MSVCP100.dll file is missing.


From what I gathered, this file is packaged with the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable. I have tried to install the (x64) and (x86) versions from this page (Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) from Official Microsoft Download Center) but both of the installations fail.


I have tried doing a clean boot by disabling all services, but this has not resolved the issue. I have also tried this install as Administrator, and local user to no avail. My Apps and Features displays that a number of Visual C++ Redistributables are already installed on my system (2012, 2013, 2015-2019).


The Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable install yields the following error message:

Being a relatively new windows user, I am having trouble parsing this error message.

Could someone help me install Visual Studio C++ with the MSVCP100.dll.

Is the even the correct approach to solving this issue?


Thanks in advance.
