Sure.
Okay you opened with explorer the vc folder, right?
So you see this inside it, three more folders:

Now open folder vc2008sp1 and then inside it folder redist. Run both executables, one by one. When they both install go back to vc folder.
Open folder vc2012 then inside it folder redist and then install both executables that are there.
Finally return to vc, open folder vc2013 then folder redist and install last two executables that are inside it.
Thanks - Yes, I found those three folders but there was only one executable in each of them. I ran those three and still get the missing MSVCP100.dll error.
Do you have any other ideas I should try? Thanks for your help.
Sure, that particular error is usually linked to vcredist 2012, maybe it's borked inside your game installation folder so you can download it from Microsoft's site (you don't need arm version, but do please install both x86 and x64 versions):

Installed x86 and x64 downloads from Microsoft site and still get the same missing dll error. Anything else I can try? Thanks!
Oops, it's MSVCP100 not 110, sorry. that msvcp is linked to vcredist 2010, not 2012. The game doesn't need 2010, but IIRC Origin does. You can download and install 2010 SP1 from here, both:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 - x86
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523 - x64My bad. I wasn't looking. ☹️
One more thing so I can continue with Valkyria Chronicles... If this doesn't sort it, next try with downloading and installing dot net 4.51 Framework (as suggested here but for another dll http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/Invalid-License-Error-0xC1/m-p/3991381/highlight/true#M1374).
You can grab the installer from here (you don't need developer pack):
