Hi!

how can I fix this problem ''mfc140u.dll missing''. I got this message when trying to open my corel draw files. I reinstalled the corel draw suite app but same message appears.

    Hi Camelia,

    The mfc140u.dll missing error occurs when applications requiring Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (MFC library) cannot find this file, usually resolved by installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable.

    Please download and install both the x86 and x64 versions from Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 from Official Microsoft Download Center to fix the error.

    I hope that above information is helpful to you.

    Hi, good day!

    Please try to download and install both x86 and x64 versions of the Latest supported v14 (for Visual Studio 2017–2026). Restart your PC after the installation. Note: Don't install the ARM64
