Spore not launching

Hi, just installed spore with ea desktop and cannot even launch the game executable.

It just tells me "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."

It wont get past that and i have repaired the game multiple times. When i launch it through ea desktop it doesn't even give me the error and doesn't start. I've tried all the methods i can find and they havent worked. I can't do the delete the spore folder in appdata though because it hasnt even created a folder.

    Hello @Mantha_B2007 

    If you are seeing 0xc000007b error, and you are running Windows 10, it might be because Windows 10 disables NET Framework by default.

    To enable NET Framework:

    1. Open the Control Panel.
      • Search Control Panel in the Start menu to find it.
    2. Click Uninstall a program under Programs.
    3. Click Turn Windows features on or off.
    4. Click the + next to all of the NET Framework options you see, usually 3.5 and 4.6, and check the boxes.
    5. Reinstall VC++ x64 and x86 for 2010, 2012 and 2013.
