Unable to run latest version because VCRUNTIME140dii is missing

[pilotpierre]

Got a response from the devs to run the "Updates/17-07-05/Copies/runVC_redistx64exe " manually. However both this and the other file in the Copies folder are PACKED files and I cannot open them.

 

Would some one be so kind to post the "Copies" folder with both of its content opened so I can replace my "Copies" folder.

 

The "Packs" folder files are also PACKED and unable to be opened so a copy of that with open files may also be necessary.

 

I would be most grateful.

Had the exact same problem this morning.

 

Went to Microsoft and reinstalled C++ runtime and it fixed it immediately. Took about one minute.

 

Hope it works for you too.

What exactly must be downloaded?

[unreasonable]

From the page: "Download the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017. This is the latest supported Visual C++ redistributable package for Visual Studio 2017."

 

Click on link in the MS page and it will download the vc_redist.x64.exe which you can then run - if you are having pilotpierre's specific problem.

I had the same problem too. Now solved. Thank you, Unreasonable!

The exe is also available under data/redist in the game.

Many thanks Unreasonable, I am up and running

What am I chopped liver? I mentioned the C++ remedy first and not a word is said. Good thing I'm not the sensitive type.

 

Oh wait... I am.

 

Now I'm sad again.

CanadaOne - you are quite right, you were first to help, have a green arrow, better late than never.  But you may have misunderstood quite how non-intuitive some of these tech things are to us - ahem - idiots "normal people".  I had only very recently been guided through exactly this process by my tech-wallah to solve a fault following a recent PC upgrade - it took about an hour -  so I thought it was worth making your advice more explicit for anyone else unfamiliar with the jargon, and even then I had to clarify what to do.    TBH I am always very reluctant to give advice on tech issues as I am an idiot myself so I worry about getting it wrong and making things worse.

 

Please do not be sad - just make advice as clear and explicit as possible so that someone with no tech expertise can follow it and you will be loved and admired by thousands!

I didnt have the problem but thank you unreasonable for your tech savvy assistance.

Thank you. And it was good of you to supply the link.

 

Now I'm happy again.
