SQL Developer 4.1.2: Missing MSVCR100.dll file

I downloaded the latest version of SQL Developer (4.1.2) to a just-provisioned, pristine server running Windows Server 2012 R2.


I downloaded sqldeveloper-4.1.2.20.64-x64.zip, unzipped it, and placed it under c:\program files\sqldeveloper-4.1.2.20.64-x64\. I double-clicked the main sqldeveloper executable and expected it to "just work" (as it usually does), but this time it didn't.

I got the following error message:

sqldeveloper64W.exe - System Error

The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

 
I searched the disk and found a copy of msvcr100.dll at C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper-4.1.2.20.64-x64\sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\bin\msvcr100.dll.

I then copied the above file to C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper-4.1.2.20.64-x64\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\msvcr100.dll

I then double-clicked the main sqldeveloper executable again, and this time it started without errors.

Thanks for the workaround. Worked perfectly. This seems to be a change from previous version of SQL Developer which did not have this issue.

Thanks! but instead of copying DLLs around, its better to put the path to the dll (C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper-4.1.2.20.64-x64\sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\bin) in system PATH variables through the environment variables screen.

the effect is same - the issue is fixed without copying DLLs around.
