mfc110u.dll missing - vc++ redist

Running DISM and SFC doesn’t resolve the issue.

Resolution

The module mfc110u.dll is not shipped with Windows. Mfc110u.dll is part of the Visual C++ 2012 redistributable package.



You can download the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (Update 4) from the official Microsoft Download Center:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

On the above page, please download and install both x64 and x86 versions of the runtime.

Installing both x64 and x86 of the above redist should restore the missing mfc110u.dll to C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directories, respectively.
