I am trying to report a problem with a new installation not finding the VC++ 2010 redistributable dll and this error comes up each time.

There aren't any links etc in it, but I have copied the text from the 'how to report' post. Is that giving a false positive?

New installation of GaW:B1941, updated via the 1.08 patch.

Starting the menu goes OK, but trying to start the program gives missing file errors.

64-bit Windows 10 Oct/Nov 2019, 6GiB, AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 1.08. (This was giving that error when bit length was after the date!)

Install original version. As part of the install, it checks for (and looks like it installs) DirectX 9.0c and VC++ 2010 runtime.

Install update.

Run game. Splash screen ('autorun.exe'?!?) works once given permission to change things (?!?) but clicking 'Play game' gives "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem" error.

It doesn't.

Both the x64 and x86 versions of the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable are shown as installed by Settings / Apps & features menu.

No Germany at War directory or file in c:\users\me\appData\local

n/a

Hi superian,

you could try to execute the game directly in the game folder without the external menu. This way we would know if it is really the game or that menu that causes the trouble.

Regards,

It may be the same problem as this post: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4531654

Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 ?

Install both versions of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and see what happens - that should fix the problem.

Yes, that had the same issue.

What has worked is to uninstall it, then reinstall it. That time, the VC++ bit talked about 'repairing' the installation of the runtime and it now works
