Excel exe системная ошибка vcruntime140 dll

Обновлено 16.06.2017

Добрый день уважаемые читатели и гости блога, пока в мире идет борьба с вирусом wonacry и все устанавливают заплатки безопасности, мы будем решать вот такую задачу, а именно ошибка vcruntime140.dll и как ее исправить. Столкнулся я с ней при запуске skype, но также встречал ее у своего приятеля при запуске игр Mafia 3, Skyrim, GTA 5, Civilization, Ведьмак 3 (The Witcher 3), syberia 3 (Сибирь 3) и другие. Я вам покажу самые действенные и на сто процентов рабочие методы, которые вы легко сможете применить за пару минут.

Причины ошибки запуск невозможен отсутствует vcruntime140 dll

Для понимания того, что мы будем лечить и исправлять нужно понять причину, все дело в том, что многие современные программы и игры используют для своей работы Microsoft Visual C++ в состав которой, входит и библиотека vcruntime140.dll и если она отсутствует, то вы увидите подобное сообщение в вашей операционной системе, в моем примере это Windows 10:

или вот такое при открытии игры:

Варианты решения проблемы

• Переустановка программы, по возможности на свежую версию
• Установка Microsoft Visual C++
• Скачать у меня VCRUNTIME140.dll, библиотеку и зарегистрировать ее

Переустановка программы

Приведу пример с программой скайп, когда она мне писала «запуск программы невозможен отсутствует vcruntime140.dll», то я просто как в случае с отсутствующей библиотекой msvcp140.dll скачал новую версию утилиты, только не тонкого клиента, а skype offline installer и установил ее по верх предыдущей версии, что в итоге меня избавило от ошибки. Новая версия уже имела все необходимые компоненты, на счет игр не могу со сто процентной уверенностью сказать, что переустановка свежей версии поможет, для них лучше использовать пакет Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 и выше.

Установка Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 и выше (Официальный метод)

Для того, чтобы скачать vcruntime140.dll для windows 7, 8,1 и Windows 10 мы воспользуемся самым правильным и официальным методом от Microsoft, инсталлируем в операционную систему Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package, нужная библиотека является его частью. Но прежде чем мы его скачаем, нужно определиться для какой разрядности Windows это делать.

В моем примере это Windows 10 Creators Update (1703) 64-х битная, поэтому я и буду скачивать 64-х битную версию Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package.

Переходим на официальную страницу утилиты:

Выбираем нужный язык и нажимаем скачать.

Указываете нужную разрядность утилиты и скачиваете пакет устанавливающий вам библиотеку vcruntime140.dll в систему.

Так же если у вас не получается скачать Microsoft Visual C++ 15 с официального сайта, может ссылка на страницу поменялась, то выкладываю вам на mail облако.

Далее я имею игру «Сибирь 3» и ошибку vcruntime140.dll, попробуем ее исправить, установив vc_redist.x64.exe, в вашем случае это может быть любая другая игра, например, Mafia 3. Принимаем лицензионное соглашение и нажимаем «Установить»

У вас может в Windows 10 или Windows 8.1 выскочить предупреждение, в котором вас попросят разрешить установку, говорим да.

Начнется инсталляция Microsoft Visual C++ 2015

Все теперь у вас на компьютере присутствует vcruntime140.dll и Mafia 3 или Сибирь 3 спокойно запустятся.

Как видите открылось стартовое окно игры.

Регистрация библиотеки

Если вы по каким-то причинам не можете скачать Microsoft Visual C++ 15, то вы можете отдельно скачать vcruntime140.dll для windows 10 и предыдущих версий и зарегистрировать ее в системе.

В итоге у вас будет архив, вы его распаковываете и кладете dll вот по таким путям.

• Если ваша система Windows 32-бит, то кидайте с заменой файл в папку:
  Компьютер → Локальный диск (C:) → Windows → System32.

• Если ваша система Windows 64-бит, то кидайте с заменой файл в папку:
  Компьютер → Локальный диск (C:) → Windows → SysWOW64.

После чего открываете cmd от имени администратора и вводите команду regsvr32 vcruntime140.dll

Надеюсь вам помогли мои методы и вы исправили ошибку vcruntime140.dll и спокойно продолжаете использовать свои любимые программы и игры.

Иногда при попытке запустить приложение вы можете получить сообщение об ошибке «Программа не запускается, потому что на вашем компьютере отсутствует VCRUNTIME140.dll». Ошибка возникает в ОС Windows 7, 8.1 и 10 при запуске игр Origin, SnowRunner, Pubg и многих других, а также в программах от Skype до Photoshop.

К счастью, есть много простых способов устранить неполадку. В этой статье мы рассмотрим самые простые и эффективные способы убедиться, что на вашем компьютере есть VCRUNTIME140.dll. Попрощайтесь с досадными системными ошибками и продолжайте работу со своими программами в считанные минуты!

3. После выбора соответствующего файла подождите, пока он загрузится.
4. Откройте файл. Если пакет еще не был установлен — вы попадете в мастер установки, пропустите следующие 2 шага. Если пакет уже установлен в системе, то вы увидите сообщение:
5. Удалите Visual C++ и закройте окно.
6. Теперь нужно заново запустить установку VC++ скачанного ранее файла, который находится в «Загрузках».
7. Первое, что вам нужно сделать, это установить флажок «Я согласен с условиями лицензии», а затем нажать кнопку «Установить».
8. Дождитесь завершения процесса установки. Возможно, вам потребуется перезагрузить компьютер, а затем проверить, есть ли у вас проблемы с работой приложений.
