My friend is trying to make a install shield for a game he made. And I'm getting an error all the time that we can't figure out why pops up... It says:
.../GameFolder/MSVCP120.DLL is either not design to run on Windows or
is damaged.
What is this error caused by? We wasn't able to find much on google.
I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit

I’m having difficulty getting the sample code for tws api running. I’ve successfully run it on a borrowed laptop but the same version fails on my own windows 10 laptop. When running on Release mode in Win32, I get the popups
The code execution cannot proceed because biddll.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. and The procedure entry point ?cancelOrder#EClient##QAEXJ#Z could not be located in the >dynamic link library C:\Eclipse-workspace\TWS >API\samples\Cpp\TestCppClient\ReleaseTestCppClient.exe.
I’ve read through several questions similar to this. I’ve tried installing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 for both x86 and x64 from here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170. I’ve tried loading biddll.dll from another folder but it gives the message “Module was built without symbols.”. I’ve run “sfc /scannow” for broken files. The issue persists. biddll.dll still seems to not be anywhere in the system files or the API files. The only version is the one I copied from another version of the project.
Thanks for your suggestions. I uninstalled TWS API and reinstalled it. I made sure to build for Release. It sounds like there was a mismatch between some debug libraries and it started pulling them instead. There may have been some unexpected behavior from installing several versions while troubleshooting as well.
i've searched about This application failed to start because libpng14-14.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. and i found that my problem can be caused by this : Uninstalling or installing applications can also make your registry of Windows full with corrupted, harmful and obsolete files (Note: i've reinstalled all visual studio from 2005 to 2015 on c:\ . (as required from my superior at work for a new c++ project))
Because politics&stuff i cannot install whatever i want, so, my question is: is there a way to solve this easly?
I've tried step 1 from this How To Fix Libpng14-14.dll is Missing / Not Found Error Messages and apparently i have no such file on my machine. :(
Feel free to edit this post/tags.
For completion,
Add the dll where the executable you are trying to run is located. If the program being compiled for 64 bit you need a 64 bit dll in this case 64 bit version of the libpng14-14.dll
Okay so I have read a few responses about this topic and can't seem to find someone having the same issue.
Why installing vcredist_x86.exe doesn't fix SideBySide error when I develop an EXE on one machine and run it on another one?
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/43681/Side-by-Side-Configuration-Incorrect
background: I work on Fortran code that use a few c++ libs that I don't have access to the code of. These were apparently built using VS2008, and this error has only started to occur since my machine had to be rebooted and I asked IT not to install VS2008 in addition to VS2012. I know that installing VS2008 will fix the problem, but that is not a good soultion.
The error is: unable to start program 'C:\blah\blah\blah.exe'. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. For more details, please see the application event log. The application event log tells me the same things listed in the first link posted.
Originally I was getting the problem so I looked up these articles and I went and installed the correct version of the VC C++ redist package (it is version 9.0.21022.8 for x86 source:the manifest file for the project). I originally installed the 64 bit, quickly determined I needed the 32 bit version and then installed that one.
I have the folders and files within for
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b59bae9d65014b98
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfcloc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b59bae9d65014b98
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b59bae9d65014b98
The related manifest files also seem to be there.
The program still doesn't run even though the files are there. What am I missing?
It's was confusing to have msvc 2012 express error install in my laptop.. I've only MSE(Microsoft Security Essential) activated antivir, and none auto startup annoying program like java updater etc..
here is my install log at http://pastebin.com/86CCBdJt
I just want use google-breakpad crash reporting, since it doesnt really support for mingw. But appearently there would be someone had a patch (found googling), Didnt know will work or not, so I decide to use msvc backend instead..
I hope any one had using msvc 2012 could have solving my problems?
If you will look at string :
[0440:0E3C][2014-03-24T08:40:00]: MUX: ExecuteError: Package (vs_minshellcore) failed: Error Message Id: 1304 ErrorMessage: Error writing to file: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.
It saying, that installtion cant access some folder, you must try it install as Administrator.
I have been trying to run a script to generate a mandelbrot image using matplotlib however I am getting a very peculiar error. I am running the script through IDLE, running it for the first time does nothing but running it again after that brings up a window that says:
"Runtime error!
Program: C:\Python27\pythonw.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
The name of the window that pops up is Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
I have previously gotten errors about pythonw when trying to run image related stuff, usually the plot will stop responding and a message displays "pythonw.exe has stopped working".
I have searched high and low for a solution to this and google shows a few people having similar problems but no one replying to their posts.
I have also tried installing microsoft visual x64 C++ 2010 redistributed package but that aborted stating that there was a more up to date version present
interestingly looking through windows update history shows some failed security updates for microsoft visual C++ 2008 that did later install. (don't know if thats relavent)
Running windows 7 64 bit and python 2.7
Was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what was going on and how to fix it because I sure don't
Thanks in advance!
