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=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):
Joxer~ Downloaded and installed the x86 and x64 files and downloaded and installed the dot net 4.51 Framework. Now I'm getting an 0xc00007b error. Anything else you can think of? Thanks!
For that one someone suggested here to check disk for errors:
Open windows explorer, rightclick on c:, Properties, Tools, Check Now. Make sure "Automatically Fix file system errors" is selected then press Start.
I was having the same issue and was unable to play any of my games. This step fixed it for me. Thank you so much!
