Can No Longer Lauch Game

[Acroyear]

I play CoH: Homecoming every few days with no issues launching the game. But today I keep getting the following error message when I try to launch the game from Tequila:

 

"The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

 

Clicking the "OK" button brings up the following error message:

 

"The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

 

What is going on here? Can anyone provide a fix for this issue? I've been playing this game since it returned and have never had an issue launching it before today.

 

I run CoH on a Windows 10 computer in case that information is needed to correct this problem.

Easiest possible fix: Windows Update had a patch for Visual C Runtime.  Restarting and allowing the updates to finish may resolve it.

 

If not, another possibility is the Visual C Runtime was removed.  Homecoming needs the runtime to operate the client.

Hi there,

I restarted my computer, but I don't see any Windows Update happening. I am at a loss here. Is there a way to trigger a Windows Update from my computer?

Depending on which version of Windows you're on, simply hitting your Windows key/Start menu and typing "Windows update" should bring up the windows update interface.

You can also google Visual C Runtime and try re downloading/reinstalling (preferably form Microsoft's website, not some 3rd party download hub).

From Microsoft's website.

 

Choose the same bits you launch from Tequila with: if you use the 64-bit client, install Visual C Runtime for 64-bit.  (Vice Versa for 32-bit.)

Hello Again,

I did do the update, GM Impervium, but that did not correct the issue. I then followed GM Tahquitz's instructions and downloaded the Visual C Runtime (for 64-bit) and that did do the trick! I am again able to log into CoH: Homecoming.

 

Thank you both for taking the time to help me. I sincerely appreciate it.
