MSVCR100.dll is missing when running console apps - php

Question

i have installed Ampps server and Wamp server on my computer in two different drives. Now i am trying to run "yiic" on command prompt but its throwing a popup window saying that "MSVR100.dll is missing try reintalling the program to fix this problem".one thing more i would like to add is that, since i have gone through google to fix the problem of MSVCR100.dll and i have installed all the suggested files (from the microsoft website) installed msvcr100.dll but the problem still exists with me.

Answer 1

I have been wondering around Google and all search engines and I came to result that the problem was in yiic.bat which was something like:
set YII_PATH=%~dp0
if "%PHP_COMMAND%" == "" set PHP_COMMAND=php.exe
"%PHP_COMMAND%" "%YII_PATH%yiic" %*
#endlocal
I changed the code to following code
set YII_PATH=F:\wamp\www\yii\framework\
if "%PHP_COMMAND%" == "" set PHP_COMMAND=F:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\php.exe
"%PHP_COMMAND%" "%YII_PATH%yiic" %*
#endlocal
Which means
please look into the YII_PATH to be upto path\to\framework\
and
if "%PHP_COMMAND%" == "" set PHP_COMMAND to be upto path\to\php.exe

Try installing or update Microsoft C++:
For Windows 32 bit OS:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
For Windows 64 bit OS:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)
This is a possible solution.
