Help msvcrt.dll error and i cant find a fix for it

A Windows installation includes a copy of the msvcrt.dll file so at least you have the file on your system.

The error is telling you that WWE is looking into msvcrt.dll for a procedure called get_current_locale (if that is correct) and not finding that procedure in the msvcrt.dll file that is on your system.  That usually means it is the wrong version of the file.

Those files are part of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and looking around the whole Internet I think WWE needs the 2010 version which may not be installed on your system.  Another place says it should be included with WWE so who knows.  BossDweeb would know but where is he when you need him.

You can look in your Control Panel, Programs and Features to see what versions of C++ Redistributable you have installed and you may have several because one third party developers may use a certain version and another developer may use another version.  You can see this system has several versions of C++ Redistributable installed (which is fine):

Each package has different versions of files and they have the same name so how can this be?  Windows has figured out a way to allow different versions of file with the same same to be on your system at the same time using WinSxS (Windows Side by Side) technology.

Since you did not specify your OS details (x86 or x64) and the MS Answers implementation is too stupid to ask for fundamental system information when a new question is asked you need to download and install the one that is right for your system and I would start with the 2010 version since that is what I read in another forum:

x86

x64

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632

After installing restart your system and see how things look.

It could be that you need a different/another version of C++ so you might google something like this and see what you can find:

If you still have the issue and since your issue is not with Windows 7 (this community) but your issue is with your game you will probably get the best support from the WWE gaming community.

Hello,

As per the detailed description, I realize that you are facing issues with a game that you have downloaded from Internet on your Windows 7 computer. This behavior may occur if you install a third-party program that replaces some of the Windows dynamic-link library (DLL) files with those of a different version. This behavior occurs when mismatched DLL files try to reference a function in Msvcrt.dll.

Try to run SFC scan to verify if there is any corruption in the system.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. It will scan your system files and to repair missing or corrupted system files in Windows. To run the SFC scan, refer to the Microsoft article below.

As per the researched information, the game you have installed is developed by a third party software developer. You may try to uninstall and reinstall the game in clean boot. If it still does not works, I would suggest you to contact the game developers.

Clean Boot

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. To know more, follow the article below:

Note: After troubleshooting, refer to this section ‘How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting’.

I hope this information helps. Please reply us back if any further issue with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

Thanks & Regards
