Windows installer does not include MSVCP100.dll so curl does not work and so breaks vagrant #6764

ChristopherHackett · 2015-12-29T18:19:13Z

Hi

vagrant version : 1.8.1
windows version : 10 Home 64 bit

Just done a clean OS install on my Windows laptop. I installed Windows 10 along with a bunch of other stuff including vagrant. When I came to use vagrant If found box add command failed with this

C:\Users\chris>vagrant box add laravel/homestead
The box 'laravel/homestead' could not be found or
could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private
box on HashiCorp's Atlas, please verify you're logged in via
`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded
URL and error message are shown below:

URL: ["https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/homestead"]
Error:

C:\Users\chris>

on investigation I found curl located in C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\bin complained of

The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer.

The dll is provided by MS Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributables - something I had on my old install for another program. Installing it makes vagrant work.

If I was less knowledgeable on this matter I probably would have given up looking for a fix.

If you are installing the Redistributable Package then maybe something is going wrong, If you are not including it for any reason then you should or provide some helpful message to the user they need it.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Thank you so much it took me forever to find this fix. Apparently most of the top google results for that error are just people who typed their vagrant commands incorrectly. This is a pretty annoying bug considering the debugging necessary to solve it. Hopefully a future version could work with a version of curl that doesn't have that dependency, or at least direct you to a download link.

niktsanov · 2016-02-20T16:31:04Z

Thank you very much! I've almost given up trying to fix this, as I've tried a lot of things.

vincekovacs · 2016-03-03T09:39:08Z

I found this issue on windows 10.

I found out that the MSVCP100.dll exists in C:\Windows\sytem32 directory, but curl did not find it.

jideokus · 2016-03-26T16:57:21Z

Thanks. Works like a charm. This was driving me a bit crazy.

StefanScherer · 2016-03-26T19:59:37Z

I've sent a PR to include the DLL in the Vagrant installer hashicorp/vagrant-installers#78

TuyenGa · 2016-04-10T05:21:29Z

thanks verymuch

jideokus · 2016-04-10T19:46:17Z

Yeah good call.

Thank!

Changes: - Add "config" unit tests for `ansible_local` (guest) - Share some "config" examples between both ansible provisioners - Move `config_host.rb` specific examples to `config/host.rb` - Add a requirement to "../helpers" in `config/guest.rb` in order to be able to run the related unit tests References: - This is the first part of GH-6633 resolution - This change is a handy prerequisite for GH-6570 Not addressed yet: - FIXME (guest.rb): Some test-double stubs are currently not working as expected, and the related checks are commented out for the moment (no idea why, but this is not urgent to be fixed because of GH-7335 rejection. See also GH-6984) - FIXME (shared.rb): The guest-based config should actually NOT return an error when the extra_vars file cannot be found, but only display a a warning (similarly to the changes done for GH-6764, see 4e451c6)

arubacao · 2016-06-08T11:51:32Z

There is a even simpler solution for this problem:

Install a working curl.exe executable Download
Make curl available for the whole system (PATH system-variable) short tutorial
Delete or rename the unfunctional curl.exe in C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\bin

Therefore you don't have unnecessary stuff installed, but a working curl executable with in my opinion is mandatory anyway :)

StefanScherer · 2016-06-11T07:00:54Z

There is a PR hashicorp/vagrant-installers#78 to add the DLL to the Vagrant installer. Seems nobody has noticed that.
@sethvargo PTAL ?

amontalban · 2016-06-14T20:16:10Z

I can confirm that @StefanScherer PR fixes the issue in 1.8.4 on Windows.

Looking forward to get this pushed to new version, thanks!

StefanScherer · 2016-06-15T07:04:32Z

hashicorp/vagrant-installers#78 got merged. So next version of Vagrant should have a solution out-of-the-box for that.

hauthorn · 2016-07-29T12:06:10Z

In what version is this included? Running Vagrant 1.8.5 on a fresh Windows 10 Pro install, and I had to manually install the redistributable.

azeredogab · 2016-07-31T03:34:11Z

The solution that our friend @arubacao said it worked for me :)
Thanks!

hauthorn · 2016-07-31T12:19:14Z

@StefanScherer What version is that?

StefanScherer · 2016-07-31T14:27:56Z

@hauthorn I thought after the PR has been merged the fix would be part of the installer of the next version. I just have checked Vagrant 1.8.5 and the DLL is still missing. So maybe this will be fixed for the next Vagrant installer?

zhudepei · 2016-08-01T01:22:46Z

Thanks!

Its-rahulG · 2016-08-04T18:31:06Z

The most easy and simple ans is, just install github client.. and install vagrant 1.7+ and virtual box 5.1+ .... and run command vagrant box add laravel/homestead . That's it. it will work like charm

manuepeva · 2016-09-26T04:30:31Z

Thank You so much!!! this run perfect for me ! I have been working on this bug for a while and I was just about to lose my mind.

wojcikm · 2016-12-18T14:25:53Z

Unfortunately this solution does not work for me. Error stays where it was. Actually Im running out of ideas what do to next. Reinstalled many times everysthing, tried different versions, different shells. What is interesting, Curl itself works (when i type in cmd: curl "www.google.com" it gives a respond), but still throwing that error of login. Win 10 x64

huguenin · 2017-03-03T14:00:04Z

I love you @ChristopherHackett - uninstalling my existing 2010 Redistributable (apparently "a newer version") and installing the one you suggested solved all of my Vagrant problems! Thank you so much :)

samdizon · 2017-05-28T06:42:06Z

Got the same error. still unable to be fixed. Tried all those stuff.

lubosdz · 2019-03-28T11:27:39Z

On windows 10 it might be a permission access issue (C:\Users\x\AppData\Local\Temp) - this helped me:
https://superuser.com/questions/478631/dll-could-not-be-run-for-msi-installers/526480#526480

Running redistributable VC++ DLL shoved up error message "You must fix issue - a newer version of DLL was detected on your system". So the solution was finally directory access permission.
