EyeSite Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Hello, I installed DCS for the for the first time version 2.10.6.63. When I click on the DCS World icon on my desktop, I get the following error: "DCS.exe - System Error" " The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." The following activities have been completed - Tried running the repair installation utility using "Check all files" and "Search for extra files after repair?" - Removed DCS world, rebooted PC and Reinstalled DCS - Three Times - Tried running DCS as administrator - blocked the antivirus from scanning the DCS program and saved game folders Your advise / solution is appreciated.

shagrat Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 In your C:/Program files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/distr/ folder should be two vc_redist.x64.exe. These will install the Visual C libraries, required, though I am not sure, why it did not launch them during install in your case. After the runtime libraries are installed it should work. 1 Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
