You may find a lof of info on the web just Googling (see, for instance this Stack overflow question: "Application has failed to start because MSVCP100D.dll was not found, reinstalling app may help"[^]. By the way, why are you using a debug library in your release build?

I guess the dependency can be properly installed on the target machine. Besides, the inquirer tried to deploy the debug version (look at 'D' part of the file name), which is wrong. Please see my answer.

Unfortunately, you created dependency on the Visual Studio specific libraries. First thing you did wrong is: you created an application in Debug configuration (I can see it from the DLL name) and deployed it. You should not do it; always build Release configuration to deploy. Please see:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa985618.aspx[^].

Also, the deployed files should match the target CPU instruction-set architecture (x86, x86-64 or IE-64) and the architecture (64-bit hardware can run 32-bit Windows version; however; this is not your case).

Generally, this dependency can be resolve by proper installation. Please see, for example, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd293568.aspx[^].

It could be solved by installation of the Visual Studio redistributable package. For example, this the one is for VS 2013: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784[^].

If you want to use some other VS version, find the analogous package on the Microsoft site yourself.

Good luck.

My 5.
Note the explicitely mentioned the release build the question. Possibly he/she is deploying a not properly configured release build.

Thank you, Carlo.
It could be. Note that "Release" is just the name of configuration, and configuration itself is not necessarily what is to be for deployment.

I have my application configured in release mode. But I am still facing the same issue as "MSVCP100D.dll is missing". If 'D' denotes debug mode why am I facing such issue?

Kindly help me is with this.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 4-Feb-15 15:20pm

Yes, 'D' denotes debug version. It may or may not cause the problem, but if you formally install the product (say, redistributable package), 'D' is never deployed. So, your build has to be consistent with that: all modules in your dependencies have to be non-'D'. Even if all dependencies are resolved, mixing 'D' and non-'D' itself could be a problem. So, check everything thoroughly do eliminate all the '*D' modules. You say that you built in "Release", but as C Pallini mentioned, the configuration could be incorrect. Or some other components have been compiled with 'D'. Eliminate them all.
