Lightroom 4.4 won't open!

I posted this in the COMPUTERS sub forum here, but I think this may be a more appropriate location....

So, a little late to the game but I finally got around to updating my LR4 to LR4.4 last night. Now it won't open.

At first I got a message that the MSVCR100.dll file was missing. Fixed that. Thought it would fix it problem. Tried to open up lightroom again and got a new message that now MSVCP100.dll is missing. Anyone else have this issue?

Have you done a Windows Update or installed Google Nik Software recently?


You need to install the C++ distributables found here: http://answers.microso​ft.com …91-4edb-916e-5e4958558090

If you're on a 32-bit operating system you need to install the X86 packages, and for 64-bit operating systems you need the X64 packages.

Thanks. I actually did this and was able to get the MSVCR100.dll file. But now it's telling me that it's missing the MSVCP100.dll file.

Windows may have updated recently. I'm not 100% sure though. And no, I haven't installed Google NIK Software. Thanks for the link. I'll give this a shot when I get home.
