Invalid license. Reason code = Missing DLL [MSVCP110.dll] - 8 YEARS LATER ...

Yep still an issue ... Originally reported in 2014 That thread was closed by @EA_Atic who kindly suggested that creating a new thread was the way to go. So here it is. Link to original post https...

Is "Reason code = Missing DLL [MSVCP110.dll]" the exact error massage you receive?

Thanks for the question.  It was, yes...  The full error message was:

Invalid License:  Reason Code = Missing DLL: [MSVCP110.dll]  Error: 0x7F

But I have done some further troubleshooting since then based on other threads I found on here.

I found these files in the Dragon Age Inquisition \ Core directory and then copied them into the base Dragon Age Inquisition directory where the .exe file is.

msvcp100.dll

msvcp110.dll

msvcr100.dll

msvcr110.dll

That did nothing.  Same error.

Then I copied the same 4 dll files into the Windows \ System32 folder.  Restarted the computer and tried to launch the game.  Different behavior this time.  I get this error:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

Click OK to close the application.

But still not able to launch the game.

      @holger1405 

      Thanks again for the detailed steps, but no luck. 

      Here are the troubleshooting steps I took.

      • Downloaded vcRedist_x64.exe and vcRedist_x86.exe from the site you linked.
      • Ran vcRedist_x64 as administrator.  Gave me options to repair or uninstall.  I clicked repair and let that process complete.
      • Restarted.
      • Ran vcRedist_x86 as administrator.  Gave me options to repair or uninstall.  I clicked repair and let that process complete.
      • Restarted.

      Tested.  Same error as last time:  The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

      • Then did the same steps but clicked uninstall for both.  Restarted in between each update.
      • Ran vcRedist_x64 as administrator.
      • Installed the package.
      • Restarted.
      • Ran vcRedist_x86 as administrator. Gave me options to repair or uninstall (I guess since I installed the x64 version?)  I cancelled out of this.

      Tested.  Same issue.

      • Ran vcRedist_x86 as administrator.  Gave me options to repair or uninstall.  I clicked repair and let that process complete.
      • Restarted.

      Tested.  Same issue.

      ☹️

        Did the game run before on this system?

        Do you use Mods?
