I think I have a more permanent fix now -which seems to actually correct the windows/syswow64 visual c++ library files - I followed the instructions here http://www.mpgh.net/forum/186-combat-arms-help/459799-proper-way-fix-msvcr100-dll-msvcr100d-dll-d3dx9_-dll-errors.html - I downloaded the 2 linked microsoft downloads - and first removed the libraries and then reran the install and reinstalled them both. I also copied the msvcr100.dll file from that was provided bycuriousbystander into the windows/system32 directory - this seems to have solved all of my problems - and avoided a full reinstall as well. ...

I can now confirm that ilivid is causing issues with other 64 bit applications I have installed too - and the dll solution doesn't appear to fix all of them... I'm now seriously contemplating a full windows reinstall. ... View more

CuriousBystander - Thats right I know and I really appreciate you providing the solution - I just thought it might be of interest to people to find out why this is necessary. What worries me a bit with your solution is that basically all other 64 bit applications that you may have installed that rely on the visual c++ runtime libraries should also experience similar issues - so whilst we have a fix for the one application - to fix all - you have to repeat this fix each time per app - and that is explained a little in the link I provided. ...

I did a bit more digging into this - from what I discovered they are the microsoft visual c++ runtime library - and so not specific to Lightroom but used by many windows applications. The problem is that Windows 7 prevents the user from copying an "incorrect" version of these files into the windows directories - it actually does some checks to ensure that this does not happen. Apparently xcopy can subvert these checks - and is likely what the ilivid programmers have used. Microsoft strongly advises against copying the files into the windows directories - see the post here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vcgeneral/thread/ee95cc1f-477e-4b71-bd8e-dbb03dab8e4c The solution that microsoft recommends in this post is to do what I just did - and to paste into the directory of each application that is having a problem. Even if you download the microsoft official install it will not overwrite the ilivid version - and this is because it is dated more recent than the microsoft one I think. ... View more

Thank you curious bystander! that fixed it! you just made my day ... View more

I'm experiencing this same issue - I have lightroom 4.2 installed on my desktop pc and also on my laptop. I installed ilivid on my desktop pc last week (by mistake). I only have this issue on my desktop - so Ilivid seems to be the culprit as others have noted. I am running windows 7  (64bit) With regards to the suggested DLL file copies. Exactly where do I find these dlls and where should I copy them to? What is their source and destination? I can find several copies of the msvcr80.dll on my laptop - most in windows\winsxs\ based directories some appear to be AMD64 related locations and I am running on an i7 920 (intel 64) on my desktop and also an i5 intel 64 bit on my laptop. So far I tried just copying the msvcr100.dll to my desktop and it has not resolved the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm livid with ilivid grrrr! ... View more
