MSVCP110.dll missing

Downloaded and installed CC over the last couple days. Illustrator appeared to work fine yesterday, but now I am getting an error (for Bridge too) that "The program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. When I go to the Creative Cloud manager app, it says Illustrator is up to date and doesn't give me the option to reinstall. How should I proceed?

I feel like I need to add to this since the guide is not a guaranteed fix. For me, the vcredist_x64 was not in the location mentioned in the document. I can only assume something was corrupted when Creative Cloud auto-updated.

 

Visiting Microsoft's website to grab the latest VC redistributable was an instant fix. Unless Microsoft changes their website format, the link below should take you to the most current version.

Hi JR-H,

It looks like you uninstalled visual studio run time libraries.  You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

When I try to install that, I get a message that a newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable has been detected on the machine.
