Software showing "DLL Missing" error

4.5

The app won't start because a specific system file (.dll) is not found.

Symptoms
  • "MSVCP140.dll missing"
  • "VCRUNTIME140.dll not found"
  • App fails to launch
Possible Causes
  • Missing Visual C++ Redistributable
  • Deleted system file
  • Antivirus quarantine

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Install Visual C++ Redistributables

Download the latest AIO (All-In-One) pack from Microsoft.

2

Run SFC Scan

Open CMD as admin and type "sfc /scannow" to repair system files.

3

Reinstall the App

The app's own installer should include the required DLLs.

When to See a Technician

Never download individual DLLs from random websites; they are often outdated or contain malware.
