Xenko Executable Breaks On Some Machines: How do I fix the MSVCP140.dll error?

#1

Greetings all,

I have a Xenko game prototype built for Windows on Windows 7. It works great on my machine, as well as on a friend’s machine (he also has Xenko installed).

However, on a machine which doesn’t have Xenko installed, I’m running into the error where I’m getting “needs MSVCP140.dll”. Googling this suggested that I needed a Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, so I installed that, but I’m still getting this error.

Note: I have DirectX11 installed and the .NET 4.6.1 Framework installed.

Thanks!

Could it be that you installed the 32-bit version and that you need 64-bit version or conversely?

Figured it out.

Even though I had thought I installed DirectX (dxdiag.exe) stated that my OS was running DirectX11, running setup.exe for directx_Jun2012_redist seemed to fix it. Who would’ve thought?

Thanks for the help.
