MSCVR100.dll missing on EC2 Instance When Trying to Run NGINX

I'm trying to run NGINX with an RTMP module on an Amazon EC2 instance, but when I try to, I get an error message saying;

The program can't start because MSCVR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

After doing some research I found that you need to install the correct windows redistributables, so I downloaded them from Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64 as it is a 64 bit operating system) and installed them.

I've tried restarting the instance and tried to run NGINX but still get the same error. Does anyone know a solution for this?

If you have installed the 32-bit version of NGINX, then you need the 32-bit version ofMicrosoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).

You should also assure that these are found in the PATH environment variable, or alternatively copy the needed DLLs to the NGINX binary folder.
