System Error MSVCP140.dll and cannot launch game

[54th_ZeppiO]

The game just updated to the recent version as of June 8, 2017, and upon launching the game I receive this IL-2.exe System Error message:

 

"The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem"

 

If someone can assist as to how to correct this problem so I can launch the game, It would be most appreciated.  Also, any steps in how to reinstall the game, if this is necessary.  This is the first and only issue I have ever had with BOS.  Thank you for your assistance.

 

Regards,

Step 1:  Highlight   MSVCP140.dll  by selecting with your mouse, then

 

Step 2: Right click and choose "Search Google for MSVCP140.dll"  (or whatever search engine you are using)

 

Step 3: Read any of the many entries telling you what this file is and how to deal with this error message. They will tell you how to download and reinstall.

_{Ok, and if I do find it and reinstall it, is there a specific folder path it needs to be placed in.  Thank you.}

Honestly I have no idea: but I am confident that you will find the answer in many of those entries.

I got same error - missing MSVCP140.dll and game won't start.

 

I guess i will re-install game? hope that helps?

No! Read my first post. Obey!

My bad - the error i got was similar, game still doesn't start - VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing...

[unreasonable]

Following instructions in my first post, this time for VCRUNTIME immediately leads me to a site that says

 

"Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

IT specialists recommend reinstalling the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 to fix the missing VCRUNTIME140.dll error. Although you may find various download sources for this software, we would strongly recommend downloading it from the official Microsoft’s website, which you can find clicking on this link."

 

This link might be a bit old - but you need Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio - presumably the most recent version.  I linked to this in another thread....https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/29950-unable-run-latest-version-because-vcruntime140dii-missing/

 

PS I know it is frustrating if you are not a tech type - I am not either - I do not mean to be short.  However, you will find that a google search of any error message you get will often tell you how to fix it.
