I did tried to copy and paste MSCVR120.dll into System32, but was prompted with the error above. I then tried some solutions suggested by online by using run command to "resmon.exe" and cmd with the following code

But none of these seem to be able to solve the problem of missing MSCVR120.dll

    Hi @ITtechy25 ,

    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

    Could you please try to download and install 32-bit version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable? The SSMS the application on certain 32-bit DLLs. Please refer to this similar thread which might help.
    Best Regards,
    Amelia

    Hi Kalyan and Amelia, thank you for your prompt responses! Still didnt managed to resolve the installation issue, though its no longer MSCVP120.dll error. It's now "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."

    Hi @ITtechy25 ,
    Are there any updates on this issue?
    As KalyanChanumolu mentioned, MSVCR120.DLL is part of Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package. Please make sure you have installed it.
    In addition, if the “the action cannot be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program” occurs again, you can go to Resource Monitor ->CPU tab, than search folder or file name in Associated Handles.

    You can identify the process by looking at the Image or PID column and then kill it if it is not necessary.
    Please refer to this article which might help.

    Best Regards,
    Amelia

    @ITtechy25 Thank you for reaching out.

    This issue usually occurs because of missing Visual C++ Redistributable Packages on your machine.

    You can download and install the package from here
    Please ensure you are downloading the right version.
    If you are running a 64bit version of Windows, download vcredist_x64.exe, for 32bit version download vcredist_x86.exe

    After the installation, try installing SSMS again.
