Starlight Live won't work!

[lukebl]

Hi folks,

After dropping and breaking my obsy laptop, I picked up a second-hand one and am in the process of installing all my software again. It's running Windows 7 and has been properly cleaned and checked by a reputable computer expert.

All programs seem OK, except for Starlight Live. When I try and run it I keep getting the error message 'The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer...' However, MSVCP140.dll is definitely there, in the folder Windows>System32.

A search on the web reveals instances of this problem occurring with other software, but I haven't found a fix yet. Any ideas?

Try opening up an administrator command prompt, and type "regsvr32 MSVCP140.dll" to see if that fixes it

If the above fix doesn't work, you can download it from here:

I've had this happen on every recent install of Starlight Live.

Thanks folks. I've now downloaded the latest Visual C++ software, and it's all working now.

I have the same issue, and after installing the latest vc++ redistrubutable (2017), still no luck, I just get a ..140.dll missing. any thoughts/advice gratefully received!

You will probably need the 2015 version which is linked above.
