doveman Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) OB (standalone) is working fine for me on Win 8.1 x64. On Win 10 Pro x64 however, I just get "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)". Before that I got errors about missing MSVCP120.dll and MSVCR120.dll files, which I found elsewhere and copied to Windows\system32\ which fixed those errors. I ran the vcredist_x64.exe from the OB\dist folder and let it repair. I also have the OB installed separately with Steam, so I tried launching it from there, which made it install 7 (I think) required packages but it doesn't do anything afterwards when I click Play and it didn't help with the standalone OB either. Tried verifying integrity of files in Steam as well. Programs and Features shows I've got the x86 and x64 versions of: Visual C++ 2005 Visual C++ 2008 Visual C++ 2010 Visual C++ 2012 There's actually two versions of the x64 2012 installed, v11.0.50727 and v11.0.61030. Only the latter is installed for x86. Someone suggested that the vcredist_x64.exe supplied with OB is the wrong version and I needed VC 2013, so I downloaded that but installing the x64 version didn't help and neither did installing the x86 version. There was another thread about this http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147740 but the title's been changed from "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" to "Needed to install VS2013 Redistributable" so someone obviously thinks it's solved but clearly it isn't. This "Installation problems" sub-forum seems more appropriate than "General Questions" anyway. There's no logs to post as DCS isn't launching at all. EDIT: I've attached my log from running the OB in Win 8.1, just in case it's helpful.dcs.zip Edited October 15, 2015 by doveman Main rig: i5-4670k @4.4Ghz, Asus Z97-A, Scythe Kotetsu HSF, 32GB Kingston Savage 2400Mhz DDR3, 1070ti, Win 10 x64, Samsung Evo 256GB SSD (OS & Data), OCZ 480GB SSD (Games), WD 2TB and WD 3TB HDDs, 1920x1200 Dell U2412M, 1920x1080 Dell P2314T touchscreen
antpsa Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I got the same problem. It's very frustrating. Tried all sort of things but remained unsuccessful.
doveman Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 I don't understand why this hasn't at least been acknowledged/reported, even if ED don't have the solution yet.

doveman Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks but enabling NET 3.5 didn't help and I'm running as Admin so already have full permissions. I remembered someone said they had to repair VS 2013 after installing it though, so I tried that (both x86 and x64) and that fixed it. So it seems there are two issues, the fact that DCS installs VC 2012 when it needs VC 2013 and the fact that after installing VC 2013 it needs to be repaired before it works. I don't know if there's any way for the DCS installer to automate the second step though.
