Lightroom 4.x can't start because .DLL is missing from computer

Hi everyone
I recently had to repair my Windows Home 7 Premium. Since the repair, a number of programs would not start...this System Error dialog appears:
The program can't start because .DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
The programs were Lightroom 4.1, Acronis True Imeage 2012, AVG Antivirus and Vegas Movie Studio 10. Photoshop Elements 9 was unaffected.
I uninstalled and reinstalled all affected programs. TrueImage, Antivirus and Vegas started working again with no issues. Lightroom 4 kept showing the same error (even though the reinstall is always successful). I tried installing 4.0, 4.1 and 4.3, all of them have the same problem.
Any suggestions please?
Cheers
Ben

MSVCR80.DLL is for MS Visual C++ 2005 Runtime, so you might try and install various C++ Redistributable packages to see if the right DLLs show up eventually. There is no MSVCR80.DLL in my LR executable folder, either.
Specifically, create a system-restore-point, remove the DLLs out of the LR4 folder you put by a previous suggestion, then install the x86 and x64 versions of various C++ redistributable package series starting with 2005, oldest to newest within a series, and then run Windows Update in Control Panel and install any updates it offers. Use Dependency Walker periodically to check if things have cleared up.

Stop: C0000135 The program can't start because %hs is missing from your computer

Im helping my aunt work on her computer. When you turn it on it says Stop: C0000135 The program can't start because %hs is missing from your computer on a blue screen. Its a Satallite C655-S5132. Please help. Thanks

If you are able to actually log into your Aunt's computer in SAFE MODE, your need to run from a command window the chkdsk /f press enter
It will prompt you to reboot and it will run chkdsk during reboot.
If it is unable to complete it is the hard drive.
If it does complete, then:
Run chkdsk /r from the command window press enter
It will prompt reboot and run during booting.
If it completes successfully great, if not then again it is a hard drive issue.
If you cannot log into your computer then follow these instructions:
Run check disk from Windows recovery environment. from recovery dvd
1. Access Windows Recovery command Run Check disk to fix any bad sectors on the hard drive.
2. At the command prompt type chkdsk /f and then press enter.
3. Now, type in chkdsk /r and then press enter.
I am also attaching a How-To-Document in Word 2003 for the above mentioned instructions.
I hope this helps.

I do not understand this message. What am I supposed to reinstall?

I am trying to install the newest version of Itunes and it fails with the message "Program cannot start MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling program to fix this program.I have tried reinstalling several times but get same results

I am trying to install the newest version of Itunes and each time I repeatedly get the message "Program cannot start MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer Try reinstalling to fix this problem". I have tried reinstalling several times and I get the same message . Any ideas? I am most appreciative. I am using Windows 7.

Hi 49balf,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend removing and reinstalling iTunes using these steps:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Am seeing all of the same error messages. MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer. For windows "Error 7 (Windows error 126) appears. Must be a defect in the lastest software update. How do you get Apple to respond

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Apple needs to respond and fix what is certainly a software defect. Am seeing all of the same error messages including MSCVR80.dll is missing from computer. For Windows 7 a "Error 7 (Windows errror 126) appears. How do you get Apples's attention. It is impossible to link up with real support from their website?

Remove old Apple programs, and use Explorer web-browser. (Firefox or Chrome will not do)

Help! AfterFX won't start because .dll missing

As the title says, out of the blue after fx stopped working. I tried installing it and re installing it, but it won't work.
What can I do? Is there a .dll missing from my OS? By the way I use, windows 7 64bit.
Thank you very much in advanced!
K.

Thanx for helping.
I have a windows 7 64-bit OS. With intel core i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 Ghz and 16 GB (ram)
I have an adobe cs6 master collection. Since I can't access AE, I can't say what version it is, but the file number is: 6.0.335.0
It has always worked. I never had a problem before. I work often with Photoshop, and less with after fx, and premiere, still those 3 are the ones I use the most, from the entire suite. A few days ago out of the blue, AE stopped working. I had it installed 3 weeks before and by then it did worked. Since I newly bought a bigger hard drive, I had to format/ re install everything. After that, the only program from the cs I can really say it worked was photoshop.
Now when I open AE all I get is the following message:
AfterFX.exe - System Error
The program can't start because .DLL is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I tried formatting the pc and reinstalling windows 7 with all updates, and with out any. With and without internet connection. And so far nothing. The only thing completely different now, is that I have a bigger non ssd hard drive.

It doesn't matter and doing a manual install will not fix the problem either. I'm looking for a solution but no luck yet. I think Apple has given us a bad update.

When installing itunes get error "program can't start because msvcr80.dll is missing

I cancelled the installation of the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC and when attempting to reinstall it, I now get a message that "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem." Reinstalling the program does not fix the problem. Repairing the installation does not fix the problem. A search shows the "missing" file does exist in the MSOCache directory.

When opening iTunes I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled, reinstalled many times - nothing! help please.

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?
