Firework CS6 Windows 10 not opening MSVCP100.dll & MSVCR100.dll errors

[Averybug]

Hello everyone,

Since upgrading to Windows 10, I am no longer allowed to open Fireworks CS6, which I use all the time for web graphics. I receive the error that stays the DLL is not installed.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times with no luck. Is anyone able to actually run Fireworks CS6 in Windows 10? 

Thank you

Matthew

First, make sure you have the  latest version of the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App from here:  Creative Cloud desktop app

Please also see these  documents for assistance:

Thank you very much for the reply.

Unfortunately, None of those solutions worked.  I received a message from Adobe to hopefully help.

I'll post the resolution once I have it.

Thanks

I tried installing it again today and it seems that the issue has been resolved on its own. Not sure if there was an update done on Fireworks or if a Windows 10 update solved it, but it is now working for me.

Thanks

alright, it took me a bit, but I finally found a solution.

Get this file:  Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) from Official Microsoft Download Ce...

Double click to install and see that it creates a temp directory to unpack and install. While it give you a dialogue box to agree to the terms and conditions, ignore that box and jump over to C drive Local disk and there you will find a folder named in some random numbers ---> C:\dc417584c1b9cb9aa82e7ae2e6 - See the images.

JUST LEAVE THIS SCREEN WHERE IT IS (DO NOT CLICK INSTALL OR CANCEL)

This could also be called vc_red.cab 

DON'T GRAB THE FILES SHOWN, grab the F_CENTRAL_msvcr100_x86 and F_CENTRAL_msvcp100_x86 , save them to a empty folder on the desktop, then copy the files to-> C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Fireworks CS6/   folder.

Rename them to msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll respectively.

That's what finally did the trick for me!

Only thing I would add is that you should use the x86 version of MVC++ 2010 as Fireworks is a 32 bit application, not 64 bit. Here is the link: Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) from Official Microsoft Download Ce...

Thanks David, you rock!!!!
