Hi,

I updated my OBS Studio to the new 17.0.2 version and now it doesn't start.
First I got the "missing mdvcp120.dll" error. I downloaded the dll and now I get "Not possible to start the program correctly (0xc000007b)"
How do I fix this?
If I uninstall and reinstall OBS Studio I can start it by using "launch OBS" after the installation, but when I close and try starting again I just get the above error message.

Regards,

Anders Karlsson

Never download random DLL files directly. You probably got an old version or incorrect architecture. Delete the file you downloaded and install them properly.

Visual Studio 2013 runtimes may be required by certain plugins. Download and install both vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Visual Studio 2015 runtimes may be required by certain plugins. Download and install both vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

SO, in order for the new OBS to work with Windows, I have to install Visual Studio???? Why aren't the VS dll's built into the software? I shouldn't have to add a tool (VS) that I do not intend to used!!! Please tell me that this will be fixed SOON. Thank you.

It's not the full Visual Studio, it's the redistributable C++ packages.
