Mahendra varman, you realize that is solution #3, right? And it is not a patch. A patch is something different.

Hi Rhyous,

Alternatively you can run a patch "vcredist_x86.exe" which you can get from the following link.

Sorry, /MT really does the work.
There was a problem with Dependency Walker data refresh - it continued erroneously show msvcr100 in dependencies.

Thank you.
But your suggestion of statical linking does not work.
In VS 2010, I selected /MT for Code Generation in 64 bit release DLL and rebuilt. Size increased (from 32K to 93K). But Dependency Walker still shows MSVCR100.DLL as used.
Currently, did not find a way to link without this DLL.

So, had to search another ways.
Force Redistributable setup - problems to detect whether already installed, a lot of GUIDs for different versions. And I have also VM which have msvcr100 without Redistributable installed.
So, my current solution in Setup - try to load msvcr100.dll. If fails, redistribute it in Program Files.

Thanks a lot, saved a lot of time.

Just having to figure out where C/C++ node is in VS2010 was troublesome. I had to add a dummy cpp file (and then I deleted it) to view the node in the configuration properties (whereas my project already include cpp files...).

Yes, you either have to increase size by including the vcredist installer, or add the dlls to your own installer, or static link. They all increase size just in different ways. There is no way to avoid increased size in one way or the other.

Thanks for sharing the information. It worked like charm for me.

When I first met the problem some days ago, I used [dumpbin.exe /depends appname.exe] to get the needed libraries for my application then thought about get msvcr100d.dll from the internet.

Secondly, I realised that the static linking process described resulted in increase in application size. Mine rose from 90Kb to 453Kb.

Anyway, thanks a lot.

I installed VC++2010 redist before installing the WAMP server and this worked perfectly for me. Thanks a bunch!
