msvcp120.dll & msvcr120.dll missing from FreeCAD_0.17.13362_x64_dev_win

Post by Johnny Geling »

Hello,

I downloaded the latest development release from github. When starting this version I got the message msvcp120.dll is missing.
Diving into the issue by comparing the files wit a previous development version I found 2 files were missing.

The missing files:
msvcp120.dll
msvcr120.dll

Is there a reason why these are not included into the x64 release?

Johnny

they should be in:
https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/downloa ... x?id=40784

I never came across this.. so it must be strange on your Windows.. used these Versions on different Win7 / Win10 machines already...

I took a look, and sure enough, those files are no longer included in the FC download. However, I had no problems since I have long had all the MS core dlls installed in my System32 folder.

Those files are used for lots of other programs as well.

HarryGeier's solution is the correct one.

Hello,

It could be I'm on a specific version of windows. I cannot install software om this system.
But providing the ddl's makes the application run as a portable application. Personally I appreciate this.
