32-bit MSVCP100.dll for 64-bit system?
[My apologies if this is in the wrong sub-forum]
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (original + some updates, not SP1)
I wish to run a 32-bit application extension which requires MSVCP100.dll. The screenshot below shows the MSVCP100.dll files on my PC. I understand that the one in C:\Windows\System32\ is the 64-bit edition. And that I need an equivalent 32-bit edition to be in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
Could someone let me know how do that?
One person suggested installing this:
Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) from Official Microsoft Download Center
Another suggested this one:

But I would like to make sure that the solution is right for installing the 32-bit package on a Window 7 64-bit system.
Also:
-- is the SP1 package backward-compatible?
-- can this installation corrupt Windows itself?
