Try installing this Visual C++ package.

Make sure you install both (vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe) if your operating system is 64-bit or just vcredist_x86.exe if your operating system is 32-bit.

If that didn't help, also install these too.

Following the same rules as before with 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

Let me know if that helped at all. 🙂

My DUDE!! I downloaded the 64 and 86 from the second two links in your post, and replaced them both in the folder of the game giving me issues (Need For Speed 2016). I had been working on fixes for DAYS, and had been researching for a fix. Don't normally post in forums ever, but this worked for me, so i just wanted to say thanks!

@Flyingsgetti MSVCP100.dll is part of the VC++ 2010 runtimes, which you can still download from Microsoft:

If the number in the .dll you're seeing is slightly different (MSVCP120 or 140), you'll need a different VC++ runtime. Google the error to find the exact one, then find the official Microsoft download link. A third-party site might instead offer you additional downloads you didn't want.

  Now after adding admin privileges I'm not even getting the error, it just isn't launching. Starts for a second and then stops.
