WampServer: php-win.exe The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing

if I try to install WampServer the above error appears. I already tried to install all the programs which were recommended, for example here: WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install

But nothing helps. What can I do to install WampServer?

As far as I am aware, the MSVCRxxx.dlls are in %SystemRoot%\System32 (usually C:\Windows\System32).

The xxx refers to the version of the MS Visual C Runtime (hence MSVCR...)

However, the complication seems to be that the xxx version is not the same as the two digits of the year "version".

For example, Visual C Runtime 2013 yields MSVCR120.dll and "...Runtime 2012" yields MSVCR110.dll. And then Microsoft packages these as vcredist_x86.exe or vcredist_x64.exe, seemingly irrespective of the xxx version or the Visual Studio version number (2012, 2013 etc) - confused? You have every right to be!

So, firstly, you need to determine whether you need 32 bit, 64 bit or even both (some PHP distributions apparently do need both), then download the relevant vcredist... for the bits AND for the Visual Studio version. As far as I can tell, the only way to tell which vcredist... you have is to start to install it. Recent versions give an intro screen that quotes the Visual Studio version and the xxx version. I have renamed by vcredists to something like vcredist_x64_2012_V11.exe.

[EDIT] Forgot to add earlier that if you are simply looking to "install" the missing DLL (as opposed to resolve some bigger set of issues), then you probably won't do any harm by simply installing the relevant vcredist for your architecture (32 bit, 64 bit) and "missing" version.

During the download of wamp server from wampserver website you get a warning..

WARNING : Vous devez avoir installé Visual Studio 2012 : VC 11 vcredist_x64/86.exe Visual Studio 2012 VC 11 vcredist_x64/86.exe : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

So if you install the vcredist_xxx.exe it will be ok

Windows 10 x64 released August 2015 - same issue arising. MSVCR110.dll is also found in the sysWOW64 folder (which is where I found it, copying to system32 does not help). To resolve:

  1. uninstall the x86 versions of VC 11 vcredist_x64/86.exe for 2012 and 2013
  2. uninstall WAMP Server 2.5
  3. delete (maybe back up first) the WAMP folder
  4. restart windows
  5. reinstall WAMP 2.5

Hopefully like me you have a MySQL database backup handy!

What solves my problem: I am using 64 bit Windows 7, so I thought I could install 64 bit Wamp. After I Installed the 32-bit version the error does not appear. So something in the developing process at Wamp went wrong...
