okayso im trying to install origin and the sims4 for my mom on this Dell inspiron 15 that shes had for years. i completely factory reset it and now that ive tried to install it gives me this message "MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling to fix the problem."

ive tried reinstalling, then going in as an admin and enabling it and nothing.

ive tried uninstalling the entire graphics pack and redoing it and nothing.

ive even tried scaning as an admin.

im like a 2/10 when it comes to knowing what im doing with computers, so this is all from research on different forums and i still cant get anything to work. this is day 5 and i leave for college next week and i was hoping to have this done by then. can someone please help me.


Hoping someone can help! I'm experiencing a similar issue when I try to run Adobe Captivate 2019 on my new laptop. It worked on my older laptop, but for some reason there's a problem on the new one (see screenshot of error message I get). I have installed the redist x64 and x84, reinstalled Captivate and restarted and still having issues. Any ideas?


this is also something i have tried, and its just not registering.

after going into my control panel i saw that i have 10 different C++ runtime programs installed but again i have very little experience with computers so i didnt know if uninstaling them all and starting fresh would screw it up or not.

ive tried about everything on this page

Thank you for making that clear, i installed the 64x one and still had the issue i will try again.

I have downloaded the 86x, its working now. thanks the most for making it clear.

Bruh now its saying i have something else not installed


I had the same problem trying to install an EA game (Unravel) on Steam. I installed both versions x86 and x64 and after that the Origin app installed flawlessly and I could continue with installing the game.

Thank you for this solution.


This. I have had the same problem as Breelee and it always was

missing that DLL but msvcruntime msvcruntime140.dll).

I did not know that you needed to have both 32 bits and 64 bits

installed. And now I think of it it has sense; most applications are

structured for 32 bits.


Many people are receiving the following error after tonight's maintenance.



When launching the game: The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer.



All google resolutions, re-installing the game / full file scan / re-install launcher / reinstall visual c++ did not fix the issue. any suggestions?


Still want to know what the developers are fn with to corrupt that install......

If it would have been just me.. i'd say something with my pc... but literally at least 1 pc was affected by a dozen of my friends


Microsoft Visual C+ somehow got corrupted, on My main Computer Intel i7-6700... could only log my support/shop computer(mid level AMD APU). When I gave up, and re-installed on my Main Computer... I tried to update Lineage on my Media computer, an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400... I haven't played any characters for some time, but I got the same error after updating.


I had to re-install Visual C++ on both of my computers... an Intel i7-4600 Tower and an Intel i5-6200U Laptop. I seem to recall when trying to upgrade other peoples Computer Hardware to support Win7/8/10... That Intel CPUs used to insert an orphaned Registry entry(which made it almost impossible to update the OS, and keep all your programs if you changed to an AMD CPU) maybe that orphaned Registry entry just happened to corrupt the Visual C++ on Intel Computers?


I don't think that Registry entry exists anymore... around 2016/2017 Microsoft removed a whole lot of Hardware support from Windows 10. for example: In 2015 you could install Win 10 on Computers with only AGP video, and you could re-install the version from 2015 after that... but could not update that computer to any update after AGP was removed. I think I have moved Intel Win 10 Hard Drives to AMD Computers without issues for at least 4-5 years.


Maybe not that Registry entry... but prolly something to do with Intel CPU/Graphics, or configuration of Graphics priority(unless the option is discrete... like my Laptop) Everything was fine before maintenance.


NCsoft prolly had nothing to do with the corruption of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 installation... the fix is to re-install the x86 version, from a Microsoft link like this: -gb/download/details.aspx?id=48145 because Lineage 2 is still an x86 program(our Unreal Engine does not actually support 64bit operation)


Indeed the memory limitations of 32bit causes some of the problems people experience when a client is running for "too long" and has been around the game world map.



What I find amusing is that out of four machines only one of them experienced this issue.

Dorico insisted that I delete it also (I had already deleted the one that had been installed by Dorico). It was only after I had deleted both of them and reinstalled Dorico that the error messages went away.


Thanks for reporting this, happenedby. Could you please enable Windows Installer logging and then run the installer again, and send me the log file(s) produced from running the Dorico installer to d dot spreadbury at steinberg dot de so that I can ask our installer team to look at what might be going wrong?


C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f.


and firefox would either not load, and after I reinstalled it it would load but not load web pages. I refreshed firefox, uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing so far. Even after a fresh install nothing.


Go to microsoft and download the Microsoft visual studios 2015 redistributable, if your usual browser is being effected try internet explorer or microsoft edge. Currently the web address for the redistributable is: -us/download/details.aspx?id=52685but if this link isn't working you can search for "Microsoft visual studios 2015 redistributable" and it should be there.


after you have these downloaded, go to your control panel then go to programs/uninstall programs. Uninstall both Microsoft visual studios 2015 redistributable x86 and x64 and reinstall them. Note, you will not be able to install these programs without deleting them first.

Reinstalling doesnt give me an error, it just simply ends with no "succes" -confirmation.



I've managed to install an old version (Dropbox 43.4.50 Offline Installer) but when i launch the app, it says "update or end". If i hit update i installs and then shows me the MSVCP140.dll error again ...
