Question / Help CAN'T USE OBS WHEN I TRY TO LAUNCH

[PowerPlayNation]

Hello guys, alright so basically my problem is that every time I launch OBS it doesn't let me and tells me MSVCR120.dll Missing Error and try reinstalling OBS again. I deleted OBS and reinstalled, once I opened it up it worked and all but once I close it for good and then trying to launch it up again it tells me the same thing. Please help me and thank you.

You have to get the 2013 C++ Redistributables.

Download: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Get the x64 (64-bit) or x86 (32-bit) version depending on whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit.

Hello, does the information above about get the "2013 C++ Redistributables" apply even if this MSVCR120.DLL is already on my machine? A search on the machine finds it. Does it just need to be copied into a particular folder for OBS to "see" it?

Or will the MS download described above solve this completely?
Thanks.

I guess it would be fine. If OBS gives you the error, you should probably download it.

Is there a particular folder that it is looking for the DLL file in?
