User Dave Wilson (Thanks Dave) via the Strymon blog reports:

November 5, 2013 at 11:14 pm Apparently the files msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll are missing from the 0.9.3.8 installer. However, they ARE included in the 0.9.1.1 version. So I installed the 0.9.1.1 release, copied the above files into a separate folder, reinstalled the 0.9.3.8 version, and copied these files back into the program folder. It seems to work now.

Root cause: The installer was recently reworked to "gather" the needed run-time files from the selected compiler and Qt version specified at build time. During the build, a script is used to auto-generate an installer (NSIS) include (redist.nsi) with the appropriate declarations; the msvc files are missing from the include generation.

Issue fixed in version 0.9.3.9.
