Hello,
I am new to the forums and truly only really joined to ask this question because after being all over the internet and troubleshooting in my own capacity I am still left at a loss and quite perturbed.
FOR SUMMARY SCROLL DOWN TO NEXT BOLD TEXT
I just got a new PC (specs visible on my profile) and have restored most of my Steam games as well as a few other cracked and free-to-play games. After installing them all I started trying to play a few games. I received an error on most games I tried to start except Dota 2 and Far Cry 4 (cracked):
This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
I checked the internet and it suggested I reinstalled Windows 8 Professional Build 9200 64-bit which I had previously installed. This seems to resolved the problem somewhat as the majority of the games that hadn't worked previously began to work.
However, some games still refuse to work and produce the same error. After changing ownership of the \SysWOW64 and \System32 folders in C>Windows since I had trouble copying the 5 .dlls in several other forums namely:
mfc100.dll
mfc100u.dll
msvcp100.dll
msvcr100.dll
msvcr100_clr0400.dll
Mostly it was the msvcr100_clr0400.dll that refused to copy across even after booting into safe mode. This copying was solved by a permission change and ownership change. I then deleted the msvcp100.dll file and the 0xc000007b error then gave way to the error:
The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
If I had the internet connection to reinstall I would do so but I don't believe it will yiled any results due to the problem stemming from the redistributeable being the issue. After updating the redistributable from version 2010 to 2012 using the redist folder in my Steam games folders I still have the problem.
PLOT SYNOPSIS/SUMMARY OF EVENTS BELOW
After trying to start my fully updated Smite I get the error
This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
If I deleted the msvcp100.dll file from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (not C:\Windows\System32) I get the error:
The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
Downloading dlls from http://dll-files.com/ proved to be useless as replacing the msvcp100.dll files restores the 0xc000007b error.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this and post,
