When I want to start VS10 Ultimate, I get this error:

Title: denenv.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Message : The procedure entry point wmemcpy_s could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR100.dll.

There are a couple of files with this name in my Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 folder. Which one should I replace, and more important with what version of the file. Will that solve my problem?

P.S: OS : Windows 7 x64

Have you tried reinstalling (or a "repair install")? If this is screwed up, who knows what else might be? - Michael Burr
@Michael Burr no. it's the last resort. - Byronic Coder
why a last resort? It should be a pretty easy operation. - Michael Burr

Reinstall the Visual C++ Runtime, which you can find in the MS Download Center.

I had the same problem, but with vs2012.
I didn't want to borrow a copy from a friend, I have no friends ;).
I tried reinstalling VC++ runtimes for 2010 and 2012, didnt work.

I went to control panel -> programs and features.
right click on Microsoft Visual Studio.
chose repair, that worked for me.

I replaced MSVCR100.dll from %WinDir%/System32 and %WinDir%/SysWOW64 with a version of the file from a friend's computer who had Vs10 installed and properly working.
