Exam 220-1202 Topic 1 Question 217 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1202 exam
Question #: 217
Topic #: 1
A user reports that after a recent software deployment to upgrade the Testing application, they can no longer use it. However, other employees can successfully use the Testing program.
INSTRUCTIONS
Review the information in each tab to verify the results of the deployment and resolve any issues discovered by selecting the:
First command to resolve the issue
Second command to resolve the issue


Suggested Answer:


Explanation:

1st CLI Resolution
copy " C:\Program Files\Testing\msvcp100.dll " " User-PC02\C$\Windows\System32 " /v /y
2nd CLI Resolution
regsvr32 msvcp100.dll
Why These Are the Correct Choices (Exam Logic)
Why the COPY command is first
The error explicitly states MSVCP100.dll is missing
Other users can run the app # the DLL exists on another system
The fastest, least disruptive fix (preferred by CompTIA) is to:
Copy the known-good DLL into C:\Windows\System32
The /v switch verifies the copy, and /y suppresses prompts - both are enterprise-safe defaults This restores the missing runtime dependency immediately.
Why REGSVR32 is second
After copying a DLL, Windows may not recognize or properly load it
regsvr32 registers the DLL with the operating system
This ensures:
The Testing application can properly call the runtime library
The fix persists after reboot
