lukebl Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ju_ju Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Try opening up an administrator command prompt, and type "regsvr32 MSVCP140.dll" to see if that fixes it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKB Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 If the above fix doesn't work, you can download it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?id=48145 I've had this happen on every recent install of Starlight Live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukebl Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks folks. I've now downloaded the latest Visual C++ software, and it's all working now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryDonkey Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 You will probably need the 2015 version which is linked above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
