The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found

image

Cause

The error message The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found typically means that a required Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable file is missing from your system. This DLL is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, or 2022.

This is a Windows, and not a BOBcloud issue.

Fix

Step 1: Download the Redistributable

  1. Go to the official Microsoft page:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
  2. Download the version that matches your system:
  • x64 for 64-bit systems
  • x86 for 32-bit systems

Step 2: Install It

  • Run the installer and follow the prompts.
  • Restart your computer after installation.

Step 3: Try Running the Program Again

  • The error should be resolved if the correct DLL is now present.
