I have tried uninstalling all of the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 20** packages and reinstalling them, and am consistently coming up with the following error when attempting to open the program:


Profile: BDubz Twitch - Scenes: scenes - Open Broadcaster Software v0.634b O...
The program can't start because msvcp120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Running Windows 7, searched around on Google and tried also searching here in the forum for "msvcp120.dll" and got no results. Can anyone assist with this? I reinstalled first just the X64 then the X86 (just to try both since neither was working), and nothing seems to be working.

Important to note that after seeing this error message, the program continues to open; however, as far as I can tell, I cannot add the CLR Web Browser Plugin (with widget url) and I am wondering if this is somehow connected to the error.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks all!

The error is almost certainly coming from CLRBrowser as MSVCRT2013 is one of its dependencies. No idea why installing the redist wouldn't correct the error though. :/

Hey Sapiens, thanks for the reply back - I really appreciate it (and I also appreciate deleting the bump, I was trying to get some more visibility to this issue since I've also never seen it before). I can't find a 'safe' place on the Internet to locate a .dll for this - it's not on my work laptop, roomies computer, etc. - I see msvcp110 and a number of variations, but no 120 :(.

Any thoughts/recommendations of where I could get additional support?

In general you should never try to find a standalone DLL and manually install it when it's supposed to be part of another package like MSCVRT. I don't know of any decent way to troubleshoot that kind of problem though, other than basic stuff. Uninstall both 2013 redistributables, reboot, disable antivirus, install both with the "Run as administrator" menu option, reboot?
