When the ConfigMgr Admin Console version 2012 SP2 (or 2012 R2 SP1) is installed and the ConfigMgr client is not updated on the same computer you could see an error like the one below.
StatView is the utility that displays ConfigMgr status messages and is typically initiated from the console by navigating to
- Monitoring \ Overview \ System Status \ Site Status
- OR
- Monitoring \ Overview \ System Status \ Status Message Queries
StatView.exe requires Microsoft Visual C++ and ConfigMgr 2012 SP2 now uses VC++ 2013 which is not installed as part of the Console.

To resolve the issue, install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) which can be found at \\PrimarySiteServer\SMS_<SiteCode>\client\i386\vcredist_x86.exe. Notice that the x86 version is required even if you are running Windows x64. This is because StatView is a 32-bit application.
This will install and register mfc12u.dll and other files which should resolve the issue.
You can verify the installation in Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs) as shown below.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x86)…
