Keep getting errors

I keep getting these two errors when I try to open Android Studio. I have installed Java and android studio. I installed Java and set it as a system variable with the correct location on my drive. But I continue to get these errors after re-installing android studio.

The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. try to reinstall the program to fix this problem.

The other error:

Failed to load JVM DLL C:\Program Files\Java\JDK1.7.0_67\jre. If you already have a 64-bit JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in the computer > System properties > System Settings> Environment Variables

Does anyone have any suggestions?

If I remember correctly, I also had this issue. The solution was to have installed the same version of JDK (32 or 64 bit) but only that one. That assembly which you are mentioning is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package. Depending on your system and needs, please install for 32 bits Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and for 64 bits Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64). You can easily find the appropriate download links with Google.
