Hello Community,So, to make it...relatively short. I recently bought and installed DA:I, however, every time I try to start the game it says the following:"Invalid License. Reason Code= missing DLL MSVCP110.dll Error 0xC1."Of course I at least somewhat know my Programs - that's a vc redist error ; I went into the folder of DA:I, and from there into _installer/vc and used the given exes to repair my vc redist.I then tried to start the game again - still the same error. Fine, I said, I then >deinstalled< all the VC redist's i had on my computer and installed them again; still the same issue. I then deinstalled and reinstalled the game itself, and yet I still have the same issue as before.I then checked the internet for possible solutions, but only could find a few posts about BF4 having similar issues. The 'solutions' there were reinstalling the vc redists, which I did - several times.That's why I turn to this place. Any Ideas as to why it's not working? I have all the Redistributables installed (2008, 2012 and 2013), the dll in question (msvcp110.dll) is in my windows/system32 folder and in the Dragon Age Inquisition/Core folder. Why can't it recognize the dll then...?

Hello guys.Managed to start the game.Steps taken to fix (not sure if all are required, starting from most possible fix):1. Copy MSVCP110.DLL and MSVCR110.DLL from "\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Core\" to "\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\". Those DLLs should be in the same folder as DragonAgeInquisition.exe file. Try to launch the game. If doesn't work, check next point.2. Open regedit (smart thing to do is to backup your registry at this moment) and make a search for all entries containing "msvcp" and "msvcr" string. Look for entries that define location of those DLLs, but have a mistake in them: instead of "C:\", path is written as "C?\". Change those entries so they have "C:\". Mind, there is a way to do it automatically, but use that method on your own risk.Would be nice if someone with this problem can check above points and give feedback. Hope it helps.

Seems like the file in Windows is different version, so copy msvcp110.dll from Dragon Age Inquisition\Core to Windows\System32. This worked for me.

Hello.Having the same problem here.

Hello everyone!First of all, @mlleyr, thanks for the guide, it really helped! However, I'd like to add a few words:That first step was useful, but in my case it wasn't quite enough.@mlleyr wrote:Hello guys.Managed to start the game.Steps taken to fix (not sure if all are required, starting from most possible fix):1.

If doesn't work, check next point.For me, the next step was to copy the same DLLs (actually, all four of those - MSVCP110.DLL, MSVCR110.DLL, MSVCP100.DLL and MSVCR100.DLL) to "\Program Files (x86)\Origin", same folder as Origin.exe file. Then you might try to launch that file. The Origin might try to download the update. If it works - great, if it doesn't, proceed to the next step.Step 3 was to copy those same four DLLs to the system folder, though I didn't have to edit the registry, probably the program doesn't try to launch the libraries from that folder, it just checks thei ravailability. Then try to run Origin.exe again. It should wok now, maybe after an update, though.I really hope this would be helpful, if only a little 😳

Try running 'windows system files repair tool',
Press start, and type, 'command prompt', right-click and 'run as administrator'. At the dos prompt type, 'sfc/scannow', press enter.
Restart your system.

Hello.
Update:
Had a talk with support, they advised to delete game, delete Origin and then install Origin and DAI. Done that (13 hours to download ☹️ ) - did not help.

Clean your registry,

And reinstall 'Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4'.

Had the same issue when I first tried running it. Fixed it by re-installing VC++, but I downloaded the install files from the microsoft website. I then rebooted, repaired the VC installs (since it still did not work) as well as updating my Nvidia graphics drivers, then rebooted again. One of the last steps fixed it.

Hello guys.
Managed to start the game.
Steps taken to fix (not sure if all are required, starting from most possible fix):
1. Copy MSVCP110.DLL and MSVCR110.DLL from "\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Core\" to "\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\". Those DLLs should be in the same folder as DragonAgeInquisition.exe file. Try to launch the game. If doesn't work, check next point.
2. Open regedit (smart thing to do is to backup your registry at this moment) and make a search for all entries containing "msvcp" and "msvcr" string. Look for entries that define location of those DLLs, but have a mistake in them: instead of "C:\", path is written as "C?\". Change those entries so they have "C:\". Mind, there is a way to do it automatically, but use that method on your own risk.
Would be nice if someone with this problem can check above points and give feedback. Hope it helps.
