Problem with DCS loading

[oneeyeddog]

When I clik on DCS (DCS, Open Beta, DCS World 2) I get the following error

MSVCP120.dll is missing from PC and the game won't start. I've tried reinstalling DCS World but that has made no difference. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to how I fix this?

Thanks very much.

I take it you don't have visual c++ installed.

Had the same problem...installed C++ and then it worked fine. I am running Win 7 64 bit, i had to install an update to Win before i could install C++.

Thanks so much for responding Gentlemen. Does it matter which of these I download?

vc_redist.x64.exe

vc_redist.x86.exe

Also , do I have to install Visual Studio 2015 first?

I have both of the redistributions installed. Visual studio is for developers.

Saltat cum mortem in addition to downloading the 2 redistributions I also had to reinstall the latest drivers for my GPU before DCS would work properly. Could be just a fluke, but it worked for me.

Interesting, but I'm having a somewhat common bug that's apparently connected to there DRM software. They're working on a fix now. I'm just waiting for the update.
