I too have the msvcp140.dll problem. I have already been on usenet and posted in alt.windows7.general under the heading MSVCP140.dll missing (bit long) and one of the replies suggested I approach this forum.


The problem started when I tried to install Ashampoo Burning Studio 22. The installation failed during the installation of the Visual C++ runtimes

looking for a package that was not there. After this some programs would not run, I was told because of a missing msvcp140.dll.

I tried everything I could find on the net and nothing worked. I have tried reregistering msvcp140.dll with

regsvr32 /u msvcp140.dll and got the message

The module "msvcp140.dll" was loaded but the entry-point
DIUnregisterServer was not found.
Make sure that "msvcp140.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX
file and then try again.


From this forum I found suggestions:

sfc /scannow from elevated command prompt.

Received the message

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of th
em.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log


The messages in the log file were

2020-12-13 13:57:48, Info CSI 000001ca [SR] Could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:46{23}]"\??\C:\Windows\System32"\[l:18{9}]"mstsc.exe"; source file in store is also corrupted


another suggestion from this forum,

dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

led to the message

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7601.24499

Image Version: 6.1.7601.24499

Error: 87

The restorehealth option is not recognized in this context.
For more information, refer to the help.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

I could not see any error messages in the log.


I have downloaded msvcp140.dll from Microsoft, but still had the problem.

I downloaded the X86 and X64 2015-2019 installation exes, again from Microsoft and tried to install.
