[SOLVED] Game not able to find Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime

[Keshav Reddy]

Hello

My game is not able to find Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime even though it is installed. I have tried reinstalling the game and the the runtime software many times but it didn't help. The snapshots of the error message and installed Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime versions are attached. Please tell me what to do?

What game?

 

[Keshav Reddy]

Valorant Closed Beta

Copy msvcp140.dll from c:\windows\system32 and put it in the game folder.

 

[Keshav Reddy]

I am not able to copy the file

Try to remove the current x86 version and to install the new one (same version as the x64 version: you can see it in control panel).

 

[Keshav Reddy]

When i removed the x86 versions and installed the x64 version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 then i got 0x80240017 error. I checked in the Microsoft forum about this and after the solution given for that particulafr problem i downloaded the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 x64 (the last one in the installed version in the snapshots above) and again launched the game But i t again showed the same message

 

[xilolee]

Have you installed both x86 and x64 2015-2019 versions?

 

[Keshav Reddy]

yes

 

[xilolee]

Reboot

 

[Keshav Reddy]

Done Next?

Check if the game starts.
If it doesn't start:

Copy msvcp140.dll from c:\windows\system32 and put it in the game folder.

I am now able to copy but still the same error is displayed

Based on the exe I saw in your first screenshot, I guessed the game is Valorant.

The game is still in beta.

You should be reporting bugs to the developer.

I think it is an issue of Windows of not able to execute Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime so I have reported here

 

[Keshav Reddy]

Moreover I have seen a lot of reports of users of other games facing the similar problems

I went to use a non-game program (Windows 7 32 bit Home) and was told, I needed Visual c++ runtime. I installed it and my program runs fine. I don't remember what program complained. I'll look at the date I installed it (Feb. 11, 2020) and try to figure out what program I wanted to use.


Windows 7, can execute MS Visual C++ in some programs.

I checked my notes and I believe the program that complained about the lack of the correct Visual C++ runtime version was an update to 4K Video Downloader.
I've used that program several times on different Windows 7 computers (64 bit Home laptop and perhaps 32 bit Pro desktop) and it is working as it should.

Then What exactly should I do?

 

[plodr]

As I mentioned in post #14, report it as a bug to the program developers. You have the correct C++ installed and yet the game somehow doesn't find it. The game must be looking at the wrong place. Perhaps there is a coding error. Perhaps the developer can tell you a way to copy the C++ the game needs to the proper place so it is properly seen.

Try to add these other files:
msvcp140_1.dll
msvcp140_2.dll
msvcp140_clr0400.dll
msvcp140_codecvt_ids.dll
