Hey, what's going on guys
Anil here and this is a problem you might get while starting a particular program on
your Windows computer i.e. msvcp140.dll whatnot form. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem
This error occurs with the programs which are dependent on the msvcp.dll libraries
msvcp means Microsoft Windows C++ Redistributed Package. It contains different dll files and if those dll files are missing then the dependent program
will throw this kind of error. So in this video you will see different ways to fix msvcp related dll errors
It is not only for the msvcp140.dll but all kind of msvcp related dll errors
Now the first thing you need to find is the architecture of your operating system
Most probably you will be running 64-bit operating system until and unless you have
old computer with Windows 7 or Windows 10 32-bit operating system. Anyhow you have to find the system type
In most cases you will have 64-bit operating system. And then go to google.com, open any browser and search for msvcp140.dll or whatever the
file is missing. Here click on the first link which is from dllfiles.com or you can find the link in video description
Now you will find different versions of that dll file. You have to download the latest one
So you have to download the latest dll file for both architecture 64-bit and 32-bit architecture
Even if you have 64-bit operating system you have to download both files
Download 64-bit and then download 32-bit dll file. Whatever dll file is missing you have to download both
Not a particular one. Now the both files are downloaded in .gif format
So let's open in the folder. The name is quite confusing so I will rename them as per their architecture
So first one is 64-bit architecture and second one is 32-bit. So you have to download and rename it to avoid any kind of confusion
So I will simply rename these folders as per their properties. Now let's copy these folders to the desktop
So I will copy and paste on desktop and then extract the folders
You can use the file explorer or you can use the wingip or wellrask to extract the content
of these compressed files. So you have to extract and then let's delete the compressed files to avoid confusion and
move them to the right. Now we have 64-bit dll and 32-bit dll
Now you have to open the file explorer. Go to this PC and then seed drive
Go to windows folder and then open system32 folder. Open and scroll down little bit so that we don't accidentally put the dll file inside
a difficult folder. Now open the folder which contains 64-bit dll file and then you have to move that dll
file inside system32. Drag and drop that dll file inside system32. Click on continue as it will move that 64-bit dll file inside system32 directory
So the 64-bit dll file will go inside system32. Now go back to windows folder, local disk key and then windows folder and here you have
to find syswap64 folder and then open it. Scroll down little bit
Now you have to drag and drop the dll file from the 32-bit folder
So the 32-bit dll will go inside syswap64 folder just opposite of the menu
In my case the 32-bit dll file is already there so I won't be able to replace it
I have to change some security permissions. But if it is missing in your case then you just have to click on continue and it will
move inside the syswap64 or any folder. And after copying the correct dll file whether it is msvcp140.dll or any other msvcp related
dll file, you have to restart your computer and then you would be able to open that program
In my case it was asus armory crate. Now you can see that I am able to open that program
So just remember one thing you have to move the correct dll file in correct folder
64-bit dll file will go inside system32 folder and 32-bit dll file will go inside syswap64 folder
By any chance if this method is not working you can try to repair the Microsoft Visual
C++ redistributed. Go to search and search for control panel and then open the control panel app
Click on programs and features. Now look for Microsoft Visual C++ redistributed 2015 to any other year
I mean 2015 to 19, 21 or 22. You will find two versions one is 64-bit and another is 32-bit
Right click on it and click on change and then click on repair
It will repair the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributed. So you have to wait till the process is complete
And then restart your pc. And you have to repair the 32-bit version as well
Right click then change and click on repair. So you have to repair both versions cross 64 and cross 86 as well
And after that you have to restart your pc. And after the restart you need to check if the problem is fixed or not
Most probably it will fix the problem. If not you can go to google and download the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++
You can simply search on google or I will provide the link in video description
So go to this link and then you can see that it is available for 2015 to 2022 version
So go to this link and then download 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Microsoft Visual
C++ redistributed. Now click on this link to download the exe file
Download both versions. Once downloaded you have to open that exe file
Now let's open it. Agree to the terms and conditions. And you can see that it is 2015 to 2022 version
Click on install. And it will take some time to install. In my case a system reboot is required
So I will restart the computer and then install it again. Alright after the restart let's open that file again
And now you can see that I am getting two options. Repair and Uninstall
Because I already have 2015 to 2019 version installed on my computer
But I will try to repair it using this version of Visual C++ redistributed
Click on repair and it will repair the Visual C++. So you have to repeat the process with 32-bit executable file as well
It may take some time. And after repairing the Microsoft Visual C++ with the latest version of the software your
computer should work fine. By any chance if this doesn't work you have to uninstall the older version and then download
and install the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ redistributed for both 32-bit and
64-bit packages. That's all for this video guys. Hope this helps. If so hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe
