This workaround helped many people (including me) during the last 12 months, so you must try it if you still have the problem:

• Go to sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\bin folder and locate "msvcr100.dll"

After copying the file, just try to start the sqldeveloper again. No reboot needed.

Hope this helps you too!
