I installed the MSVCP120 but it won't work

Post by Jade_Denryu »

I am trying to get the a PSP emulator to work, but it said I needed msvcp120.dll to get it to work giving me the message msvcp120.dll is not found on your computer, please reinstall. I have both 32 bit and 64 bit versions and neither are working. I get the error message that it could not be opened properly (0xc000007b). What can I do to fix this?

Hello Jade_Denryu,

0xc000007b means you are mixing 32bit environment with 64bit.

Even if on a 64bit Windows system, most programs are still 32bit.

32bit programs uses 32bit dll files, 64bit programs uses 64bit dll files.

If you mix them, you get this error.

Default folder for 32bit dll files on a 64bit Windows system is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\

Default for 64bit is C:\Windows\System32\

If you have placed dll files in these folders, remove them and make sure you only put files with the correct bit.

If you have placed dll files in the program folder for your program, make sure they match the bit of the program.

Best regards

Hi D3ll,

Place dll file in the same folder as the program asking for it.

If you get error 0xc000007b, make sure the dll file is the same bit as the program.

This dll-file is a part of the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (12.0) redistributable package".
If replacing this single file does not help, re-install the complete package.

If using a 32bit (x86) Windows system, install the 32bit (x86) version.
If using a 64bit (x64) Windows system, install both the 32bit (x86), and the 64bit (x64) versions.
