Hi Daniel,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

SysWOW64 is a highly protected system folder, if you are attempting to copy files like a dll into that folder it is not safe, and you would not know if the dll is clean and not injected with malware.

For that error (vcruntime140.dll) you are getting.

Click the link below, on that page is a multi-installer for the Visual C++ 2015, 2017 and 2019 redistributables.

Please Note, regardless of whether your version of Windows 10 is 32bit or 64bit, you must download and install both the x86 and x64 versions, do not try to install the ARM64 version:

Then, restart (not shut down) your PC.

Hi Daniel,

What's the method you're trying though? Please explain.

You can get vcruntime140.dll from VC++ redist from Microsoft.
