Ref. Win-7 64 / CS-6 64

Just got this error "out of the blue" this evening.   I tried reinstalling Photoshop but it didn't fix the problem.

I do a C: Drive backup monthly, and can revert to it, b ut I'd like to know what caused it, and how to prevent it happening again.

Regards,

Leigh

    I went back to my original email from Nik/Google, inviting me to download the Nik Suite (as I had already purchased the product from Nik). I re-downloded the software, and everything is working fine now...but is MUCH slower! I have been in contact with Google, and they are working on a fix for the slowness issue. They say it will automatically update once they've resolved the problem.

    While something needs to be done, It's the "automatically" that bothers me.   We don't want a repeat of what happened last week . . .

    I got the same message but I don't have Nik on my CS5.  I did have a trial but I got rid of that months ago and the Nik I do have is a very old borrowed Color Efex that's attached to my old PS7 (which opens just fine.)

    The link above from MS that Argus posted has 3 choices.  How do I know which one to take?

    OK, this is bizarre.  I deleted the folder AND uninstalled the Nik Dfine I had a trial of and apparently still got the update that borked my dll.  It's window always came up and I ignored it but Google sending out unannounced and unwanted updates to software that I don't even have any more just to gum up my PS5 is stupidity.

    This Nik update needs the runtime for Visual Studio 2012. You can download the x86 and x64 packages from Microsoft here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30679

    Download the x86 and x64 versions of the installer and run both, the Nik software will then work. It looks like Google made the simple error of not testing on a machine which didn't already have these dlls.

    I encountered the missing MSVCP110.dll file this morning also. I was just working  on CS6 yesterday with no problems. I initially tried a restore back to yesterday morning on my WIN 7 machine . The restore dialogue said that NIk programs would be affected, so obviously it had been changed in the last day, which would corroborate what others are indicating. I did the restore but it did not fix the problem.

    I checked the Windows/System32 file and the MSVCP110.dll file was not there. I down loaded the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 as links in this forum will direct you to. This worked! And now the MSVCP110.dll file is now in the system 32 file and CS6 starts and works fine as do the nik filters - for now anyway.

    A negative mark for Google in pushing this update automatically and causing these problems.

    I experienced the same issue last night all of a sudden.  I use Photoshop Elements.   Just happened upon the fact it was the Nik plug-in by chance.  Re-installed from the original download link and everything was fine; however, problem has returned. 

    I also have alerted Nik/Google to this.

    I just un-installed Nik on my computer and re-installed from the original e-mail from Google last March or so.   The download link is an udpated one and includes the new filter.

    So far, I'm good, but we'll see if it lasts.  

    I would recommend trying that if you saved the e-mail with the link to the entire collection.

    Hello,

    I have just encountered this problem today as well.  As it turns out, it is Google's NIK Collection that is the culprit.  (At least it is for me.)

    Google ugraded the collection yesterday.  When you open the software and you have an internet connection, the software will download the upgrade and update the software automatically without your knowledge or consent.

    When I discovered this, this morning, I uninstalled Nik and re-installed the original version.  The software worked after that.  While contacting Google NIK team, the software updated itself again and is now not working!!!

    I have been informed by that team that I am the only one having this issue.  OBVIOUSLY NOT!!  There is no way to stop the software from updating itself; which means, I now have a useless piece of software on my machine that I cannot use until Google fixes this problem.

    I hope this helps.

    It was NIK (Google), and on my Windows XP system involved the loss of two dlls (MSCVP110 and MSCVR110) from the Windows/system32 folder. I downloaded both, put them in that folder, and all is well again.

    The new NIK Software "Analog Efex Pro" ist the reason.

    I went into the File Programme / Adobe / Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64bit) / Plug-Ins / Google

    and there i removed the Binder Analog Efex Pro.

    This solved my problem.

    As others have noted, it was the NIK update push. They have a new program "Analog Efex Pro" which they pushed out. I sent them an email before coming here. The problem appears to be with Google, not Adobe. For those that uninstalled, and reinstalled the original with it now working, further confirs that it is a Google issue. Undortunately, it may be a short tern solution as the original program will see a newer version and re-download the problem update. Hopefully, Google is catching an earful and blocking update push until they get the issue resolved. Lightroom 5 still works, but the new Analog Effex is not showing (nor is HDREffex which has never shown.)

    Also went to Microsoft forums in an attempt to resolve before coming here. MSVCP110.dll is a component file of Microsoft C++. Tried to install the C++ 2010 (64bit) only to be told that I have a newer version on my machine, so I aborted the install. Apparently, that dll file isn't missing, just hidden.

    After I install "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3", both X86 and X64 revision, it works fine.

    They can be download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

      Same problem overhere and I was not missing the dll file wich was where it belonged in the System32 folder of Windows. After viewing this forum message I uninstalled Nik leaving my personal preferences untouched, then installed again from the original downloadfile. Everything is working again the way it should and my personal recipies are still there.

      I sent an email to NIK stating the problem and asking them to fix it.  Has anyone had a chance to see if this NIK update affected Lightroom or Elements?  (I also don't like that this update was made without my knowledge.)

        NIK's response to the problem (email sent to me today): Dear    , Thank you for contacting Nik by Google. I'm sorry to hear this occurred.  We had an autoupdate last night that I believe may have triggered this.  Please download and install the trial of the Nik Collection to your computer from Google.com/NikCollection. Since you previously had a registered version of the Nik Collection installed on your computer, installing the trial will simply update the files for you. Make sure that all host applications are closed as you run the installer, and your plug-ins will be back in place once you re-open the host.

        I'm not having any "speed" problems having "stacked" 4 layers of NIK filters; but I did note that an effect layer will have the same Opacity setting as the effect layer below it.

        I checked my "old" computer with CS5, and NIK filters long before Google, & the layer Opacity behaviour is the same, reflecting the Opacity setting of the layer below it.

        That's Photoshop's "normal" manner of working with "Duplicate" layers.   You can, however, adjust the opacity of the top Layer, and it will not change the setting of the effect layer below it.
