(0xc000007b) error
- 4 years ago
msvcp120.dll is a part of Microsoft Visual C++ and is often required for running programs developed with Visual C++.
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.
If it for some reason doesn't work by just replacing the file, you might need to re-install the Microsoft visual C++ Redistributable package which can be found here:
x86 for 32bit (x86) Windows, x64 for 64bit (x64) Windows. If using a 64bit Windows, install both.
Both programs you mentioned are Visual C components, maybe start there. Something has become corrupt or downloaded incorrectly. This often happens when you download a program in the background AND continue using the computer while the downloads runs.
