Using Windows 7 64-bit.
This happens when I run the DVD encoding program. It used to work fine in Windows7 64-bit until 2014. Then I started getting this message when I try to start the program:
«The application was unable to load a required virtual machine component.»
A solution was found, which involved uninstalling a Windows update: kb:3045999. It worked for a while, but then again the same problem recurred. Over time, the fix was to uninstall a number of updates, as follows:
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3045999
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3022345
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3068708
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3071756
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3060716
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3080149Starting October 2015, after the Windows7 Service Pack got installed, all these uninstalls together don’t help. I’m unable to run my program.
Can you tell us which updates to uninstall in order to make the program run correctly.

Hi,
Firstly, could you tell us what the program DVD is and how does it work?
We consider some files version updated via installing these updates, so the new version file doesn’t support to run the program.
Because you install so many updates, it is hard to determine which updates and which file in updates cause it.
However, have you tried run the program as administrator to test? In addition to that, you can check compatibility in system and choose lower system version in Compatibility Mode to run the program. Please refer
the link below to know how to run older programs.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/make-older-programs-run#1TC=windows-7
If it still fails, we suggest you perform system restore to let the PC back to the point before the updates installed.

Good luck to fix it.
Best Regards
Simon

This is known issue that is caused by KB3045999:
The application was unable to load a required virtual machine
component. Please contact the publisher of this application for more
information.
However even despite uninstalling this security update, the issue returned with one of other recent security updates.
Does anyone know which one it might have been (past 2 months I guess)? Is there anyway to work around this problem apart from uninstalling another security update?
I have some legacy apps that I know I won’t get updates for them but I need them to run occasionally.

Usually such error is caused by KB3022345, KB3045999 or KB3068708. These updates can easily be uninstalled.
Unfortunately some new update arrived. I’ve found information that this new update is KB3020370 that cannot be uninstalled. In this case there is no workaround without reinstalling Windows and blocking such update.

For me, it seems like a new updates comes along every few months that causes me the «required virtual machine component» error with some programs.
So far, these are all the updates I’ve removed and hidden to deal with the error(note that they all have KB before the number) — 3045999, 3060716, 3071756, 3088195, 3101746

For your first question
Does anyone know which one it might have been (past 2 months I guess)?
The 2 updates I know that give problems with PostBuild are KB3045999 and KB3022345
For your second question
Is there anyway to work around this problem apart from uninstalling another security update?
I haven’t find a workaround, uninstalling the updates was the only solution.
