Error when starting application - MSVCP110.dll

[glecakes]

I'm not sure what has changed since I last ran Audition a few days ago, but I attempted to this morning and found that immediately I get the a dialog box error stating:

"The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP110.dll was not found. Reinstalling the progam may fix this problem."

I found this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/missing-msvcp110dll.html

I checked my version of the creative cloud app and it appears up to date ( I even reinstalled it) at version 5.5.0.617.

I then went to the directly mentioned in the above link, but found no vcredist_x64.exe to run.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Audition and the error persists. 

Does anyone have suggestions on what to do to fix this issue?

The fix for me was to go to microsoft's website and download the installer for the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4. Run the installer and choose repair. As soon as it finished I was able to open Audition again (even without a restart!)

I have been killing myself trying to figure this out. Weirdly on my desktop, this isn't an issue but I just did a Windows update to my Surface Pro 4 (my main VO rig) and I think that must've killed it. Your steps worked perfectly! Thank you so very much!

Thanks, that did the trick for me.

How'd you figure that out, by the way?

Which Audition version was that you had/have fixed please?
I used to have an installation of Audition Cs2 which I got legitimately and was equal to Audition 3.0 (which I had through a DVD installer bought straight from Adobe)  Then that MSVCP110.dll was not found error popup came up and after one reinstall I found the same problem and despair set in so I gave up trying
I need that info if Im going to try again Please tell me ...

I found that msvcp110.dll had been replaced by msvcp110-win.dll after installing the new PS 24.6.0. It broke all programs that were looking for the former. Maybe Adobe has the wrong version of the dll in its installer?
