DLPC900REF-SW: DLPC900REF-SW new install on Windows 10 will not start because MSVCR100.dll is not found

Part Number: DLPC900REF-SW

Hello,

I am migrating to a new computer to control my DMD DLP 6500. I am now using a Lenovo ThinkStation running Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042. I am trying to reinstall the GUI software from https://www.ti.com/tool/DLPC900REF-SW.

(1) After first installing the software and then trying to start it, I get a message box pop up with the error "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem". This indicates to me that Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable was not found by the software.

(2) I uninstalled DLPC900REF-SW and installed the X64 version of Visual Studio 2010 (VC++ 10.0) SP1 from  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170. Next I reinstalled DLPC900REF-SW. However, I still receive the same error.

(3) Looking in directory where the "DLPC900REF-GUI.exe" executable is I can indeed see that the MSVCR100.dll is not present. I tried copying the MSVCR100.dll presents in C:/Windows/System32 to the same directory as "DLPC900REF-GUI.exe" There is a new error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application".

Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
