I'm starting to believe in M$ lobby...
I'm starting to believe in M$ lobby...
Kind of weirdo:
I have two W7 PRO discs; one I'm using each time I install Windows (2-3 times a week), and a backup one.
Imagine installing a system on a R61 on monday. Everything works perfectly.
Installing a system on a R61 on tuesday. Same specs, same disc. MSVCP100.DLL missing, windows gadgets not working.
Reinstall. 5 times. Each time the same.
Take another HDD. Still the same.
Take another thinkpad(s) to a total of 6 (!). Still the same.
Take another - backup - disk. Still. The. Same.
What the smell is going on?

Too many thinkpads not enough time!

Worlds smallest scratch causing problems.
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.
The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

You know how it is - when everything works, you expect it will each time
MSVCP100 is not so "take it easy" anyway; my CAD apps can't start without it, and I guess since it's WI file some other professional apps wouldn't neither. Not to mention I get frustrated because the problem just popped out from nowere. And adding the missing DLL / swapping it with corrupted one does not help. I've had a very similar issue some couple of months ago, but it turned out to be some windows update matter.

Did that before posting it here, but with no effect.
The thing is, I simply wonder how is it possible it did work on one day just to stop on another. I was honestly looking for some hardware problem because this just should not happen just like that. I'm sure I will cope sooner or later, but am just surprised why it stopped working just like that, and on all systems I try to perform clean install on.

Have you tried install on a different machine, like T500?

Sure did. T500, X61, T400 and couple of T/R61 were tested.RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 5:22 amHave you tried install on a different machine, like T500?
However, I'm close to solution I hope.
I have installed the oldest SP1 version of W7 Pro I could find. And guess what - everything in there was perfectly fine UNLESS I have updated the system via windows update. I'm digging deeper now.
EDIT: Still have no clue what have happened, but found a solution anyway. Installed a non-SP1 version of W7, and then updated it to SP1 with a seperate file downloaded from M$ site. The system is ~up to date now (however it does not seem to search for any new updates while being stuck at NET Framework 4.0), and everything seem to work as it should.
