[WinVistaSP2HomePremium x86] sfcfix fails

rrengineer · Mar 25, 2017

My system is Windows Vista Home Premium and got mauled by some kind of virus. I managed to get most things fixed but SFC returned an error that some files could not be fixed. A search with Google turned up your site and I tried the SFCFIX utility.

It failed with an error that it could not find msvcp100.dll Further search located a site which has a library of all current DLLs. I downloaded a version for Vista 32-bit. Attempting to register it I got a message that it wasn't compatible.

So, what can I do next?

It's best not to grab dll files from unknown sources. I would recommend going directly to the owner of that application extension: Microsoft. Click the link below for the installation files you need for msvcp100.dll

Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) from Official Microsoft Download Center

Thanks. That worked!! The corruption found by SFC was unimportant and was not necessary to be fixed by SFXFIX.
