Msvcp140.dll Is Missing From Your Computer

[Martha Weitz]

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.

Fortect is a computer repair software that can diagnose problems on your computer and fix them immediately. It will first check hardware-related issues to identify problems, then security issues, and finally it detects programs that crash, and missing system files. Once complete, it will find a solution to your specific problem.

Errors related to msvcp140.dll can arise for a few different different reasons. For instance, a faulty application, msvcp140.dll has been deleted or misplaced, corrupted by malicious software present on your PC or a damaged Windows registry.

In the vast majority of cases, the solution is to properly reinstall msvcp140.dll on your PC, to the Windows system folder. Alternatively, some programs, notably PC games, require that the DLL file is placed in the game/application installation folder.

Some games or applications may need the file in the game/application installation folder. Copying it from Windows systemfolder to the install-folder of the game/application should fix that problem.Make sure to use the 32bit dll-file for 32bit software, and 64bit dll-file for 64bit software.

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.

@blackswanndraws I used to have this problem I reinstalled pencil2d and it started working again but this can sometimes be caused by

1 making a short cut on the desk top (when I used my old pc I made a short cut to pencil 2d and it did not work)

2 downloading the wrong pencil2d are you sure you picked right between the 64 bit and the 32 bit

I have formated my PC and from windows 8 improved in windows 10, but now every time it pops and error missing msvcp140.dll file, what should I do how to find from which program is this fille missing, do I need to reinstall again the Win 10 or what else can I do.

Run the vcredist file in your Pencil2D directory. That will install the software you are missing from Microsoft. After that you should be able to start Pencil2D normally (you may or may not need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect).

But if you want you can also download it from the official microsoft website. Please read the pinned responses for this issue: VCRUTIME140_1.ddl was not found // VCRUNTIME140.dll / MSVCP140.dll Missing? Help

@mynameissplayer Please look at the solutions here: -0x80240017-unspecified-error/. Based on your screenshot it looks like you may be using Windows 7 in which method 2 would be applicable to you, but it really could be an issue with any of the things listed on that page.

This error message is directly related to the DLL file, when the VCRUNTIME140.DLL file is misplaced or deleted from the Windows system and you will face this error message. This error indicates a problem with the 2015 version of the Visual C++ Redistributable because there is a known conflict between the 2017 version and the 2015 version.
