Photoshop Entry Point Not Found

A follow-up on this issue - as typed by my son who has been working on my computer to fix Photoshop.

It seems the current version of CC uses Microsoft Visual-C 2012(VC2012) and not 2010.  I originally fixed this problem by following the advice I found at Photoshop CC (2014) fails to start (0xc000007b) » Timeclub . I uninstalled VC2012 x86 and x64, deleted both the files (msvcp110.dll & msvcr110.dll) and  rebooted the machine. Once booted, I reinstalled both VC2012 and all looked right.  Both Photoshop 2014 and Lightroom 2015 started perfectly.  Happily I shut down and sent the computer back home.

Sadly on reboot the issue had returned.  This time, instead of uninstalling and deleting all over again, I opened Windows' "Programs and Features" control panel (Add/Remove Programs for those still using Windows XP) and right clicked the entry and chose "Change' (repair in older versions of Windows).  I ran the change on both x64 and x86 versions of VC2012 and (as requested by the installer) rebooted the machine - an interesting side-note, when I uninstalled (and reinstalled) VC2012, during the first run through, I was not requested to reboot.  So far, through multiple reboots, both PS2014 and LR2015 are once again working.

I will revisit this thread if the problem returns.

For those happening upon this thread in the future I have include the text from the Windows error (straight from Event Viewer)
