[robcat2075]

A few people have reported an error message when running  v19.5c for the first time, saying that mcf100.dll was missing.



Steffen recommends running the Service Pack at this link:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2010-vc-100-sp1-no-longer-supported

 

It is in this portion of the page, although the above link should take one to this directly...

This solved the problem of the missing dll.

Steffen tells me that the A:M installer is built to install this dll so it is uncertain why it didn't work in this case.
