About msvcr110.dll

msvcr110.dll is a DLL file (Dynamic Link Library) used by Windows programs to share code and resources. It allows multiple applications to use the same functions, improving performance and reducing redundancy.

Overview

What Is msvcr110.dll?

msvcr110.dll is the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library for Visual Studio 2012 (VC++ 11.0). It contains essential functions used by applications built with Visual C++ 2012, including:

  • memory allocation
  • file and string operations
  • exception handling
  • multithreading support
  • standard C library functions

If this DLL is missing, broken, or not the correct version, any program compiled with Visual C++ 2012 will fail to start.

Common error messages include:

"msvcr110.dll is missing"
"The program can't start because msvcr110.dll was not found"
"Error loading msvcr110.dll"
"The code execution cannot proceed because msvcr110.dll was not found"

This is one of the most frequently missing runtime DLLs on Windows systems.


What Does msvcr110.dll Do?

✔ Provides the Core C Runtime for VC++ 2012

msvcr110.dll contains the C standard library implementation used by applications built with Visual Studio 2012.

It supports:

  • printf, scanf, and other I/O functions
  • string manipulation
  • mathematical operations
  • memory handling (malloc/free)
  • threading and synchronization wrappers

✔ Required by Many Applications

Even if you never installed Visual Studio, countless programs depend on it. Examples include:
  • utilities and tools
  • games
  • business applications
  • enterprise software
  • older Microsoft SDK-based applications

✔ Installed by the VC++ 2012 Redistributable

Most programs automatically install the correct redistributable package, but if it fails, the program won’t have the runtime it needs.


Why Do msvcr110.dll Errors Occur?

✔ Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Not Installed

This is the most common cause. If the redistributable is missing, so is the DLL.

✔ Corrupted or Deleted DLL

System cleaners, antivirus tools, or bad installations can remove or damage the file.

✔ Wrong Architecture Installed

Programs require:
  • x86 msvcr110.dll for 32-bit applications
  • x64 msvcr110.dll for 64-bit applications

Having only one does not satisfy both.

✔ Incomplete Application Installation

If the installer failed to register or extract the correct runtime files.

✔ Replacing the DLL With an Incorrect Version

Using a mismatched file from another program often causes startup errors.


How To Fix msvcr110.dll Errors

1. Install the Official Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (Best Fix)

Microsoft’s installer restores the correct versions automatically:

Official download (Microsoft): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist

Install both:

  • vcredist_x86.exe (32-bit)
  • vcredist_x64.exe (64-bit)

Even on 64-bit Windows, many applications still require the 32-bit version.


2. Repair the Redistributable

If the runtime is installed but corrupted:
  1. Open Apps & Features
  2. Find Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable
  3. Select Modify → Repair


3. Place the DLL Next to the Application’s EXE

Some programs use local runtime files.
  1. Download the correct msvcr110.dll
  2. Place it in the same folder as the application's executable
  3. Restart the program

This can be a temporary fix but does not replace installing the redistributable.


4. Match the Correct Architecture

Ensure you are using the right version:
  • 32-bit program → 32-bit (x86) DLL
  • 64-bit program → 64-bit (x64) DLL

Mixing architectures will still cause load errors.


5. Check Antivirus Quarantine

If msvcr110.dll disappeared:
  1. Open antivirus → Quarantine / History
  2. Look for msvcr110.dll
  3. Restore or whitelist it


Where Is msvcr110.dll Normally Located?

After proper installation of the redistributable:

  • C:/Windows/System32/ (64-bit version)
  • C:/Windows/SysWOW64/ (32-bit version on 64-bit Windows)

Applications may also ship local copies in:

  • ApplicationFolder/
  • ApplicationFolder/bin/
  • ApplicationFolder/Runtime/


Summary

msvcr110.dll is the Visual C++ 2012 C Runtime library required by many Windows applications. Missing or corrupted versions cause startup failures, but reinstalling the official Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable usually resolves the issue immediately.

Make sure to install both x86 and x64 redistributables and confirm that antivirus software has not removed the file. If needed, local DLL placement in the application folder can serve as a workaround.

Fixes and Solutions

The first step in resolving DLL errors is to completely uninstall the affected software and reinstall its latest version. We know this does not always solve the problem, which is why DLLme exists. If reinstalling the application does not help, or if you are unsure which app is causing the error, follow the steps below. These are the most common solutions for fixing msvcr110.dll errors.

  • Repair Windows: Make sure Windows is fully updated, then open Windows Terminal or PowerShell as an administrator (search for “PowerShell” in the Start menu, right-click it, and choose “Run as administrator”). This allows you to repair the Windows component store and run the System File Checker (SFC).

    Repair the Windows component store so SFC can pull clean files:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Scan all protected system files and automatically repair problems:

    sfc /scannow
  • Uninstall & Reinstall: On this DLL page, check the Company/Product section to identify the related app, then fully uninstall it. If you plan to continue using it, reinstall the latest version. Be sure to save or back up any important data before uninstalling. Windows or antivirus software may sometimes quarantine DLL files, especially if the DLL is unfamiliar or appears suspicious. Check your antivirus quarantine or logs to determine if this is the cause of your issue.
  • Download the DLL: Download the latest 32-bit or 64-bit version of the DLL directly from our repository using the download button above. Most users will need the 64-bit version, but if you are unsure, or if a 64-bit version is not available, you can install both the 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs. DLLme verifies DLLs that come from our admins, partners, and trusted affiliates. User-uploaded files may be verified later if a trusted source is confirmed.
  • Register the DLL: Most DLL files do not need registration, but some DLLs are COM components and must be registered to work correctly. If registration is required, open Windows Terminal or PowerShell as an administrator.

    Register the DLL (you can also drag the DLL file into the window to automatically fill in its full path):

    regsvr32 "C:\path\to\msvcr110.dll"

    If you are registering a 32-bit DLL on 64-bit Windows, use the 32-bit RegSvr32:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 "C:\path\to\msvcr110.dll"

    Or open Windows Terminal/PowerShell in the DLL’s folder and run:

    regsvr32 msvcr110.dll

How to Install msvcr110.dll

To install msvcr110.dll, place the DLL file in the appropriate Windows system folder or in the same folder as the application’s .exe file. If you are not sure which version (32-bit or 64-bit) to use, you can safely install both.

On 64-bit versions of Windows, place 64-bit DLL files in:

C:\Windows\System32\msvcr110.dll

Place 32-bit DLL files in:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr110.dll

Or place the DLL file next to the application’s .exe:

C:\path\to\exe\msvcr110.dll
