VCRUNTIME140_1.dll missing

Anonymous

I'm trying to open some apps (Melodyne and Adobe Animate), but everytime I try, it says 'The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.' I've looked online, and tried everything I could find, but the error still shows up. I've noticed it's only been showing up after I accidentally got a trojan, and it's been showing up ever since. If anyone can give me some tips, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Hello TheAwesineGM,

    I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be happy to assist you today. I understand you have a problem with error message VCRUNTIME140.dll missing. When was the last time it worked properly?

    Please try to download and install the x86 and x64 versions of the multi-installer Visual C++ 2015, 2017 and 2019 redistributables. Restart your PC after the installation. Note: Don't install the ARM64

    Thank you, John.

    To answer your first question, the last time that they worked properly was sometime early-to-mid November.

    And to answer your second consern, I've tried reinstalling the drivers and now I can open the apps. Thanks, this really helped!

    I have this same problem. I have tried reinstalling the executables from the Microsoft site (both the x86 and the 64 bit) and each time I still had the issue. I'm not running an arm machine so I didn't even try that. Please help!
