These VC++ runtime libraries composed of the DLL files needed to run applications compiled using the Microsoft VC++ \/ Visual Studio suite. Software vendors often include the required runtime libraries in the installation packages since various versions with the same DLL filename can exist. However, some developers also use redistributable packages that other programs also use. Users who have an outdated or faulty Microsoft Visual Studio package, can also face the <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/msvcp140-dll-is-missing-fix-error\/\">msvcp140.dll<\/a> error or cases when <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/fix-origin-thin-setup-is-not-opening\/\">Origin Thin setup is not opening<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some details about the VCRuntime140.dll:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Program name: Microsoft Visual Studio (Visual C++) 2015\/2017\/2019<\/li><li>Developer: Microsoft Visual Studio<\/li><li>Executable file\/process: vcruntime140.dll<\/li><li>Operating system: Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10<\/li><li>Folder location: C:\\WINDOWS\\system32<\/li><li>Known file size: 86KB<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_VCRuntime140dll_Is_Missing\"><\/span>Why VCRuntime140.dll Is Missing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The VCRuntime140.dll was not found error sometimes happens when the VC++ version installed on your PC is already outdated.
