'MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer'

Hi!

I’m getting:
‘MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer’ whenever I try to run the engine and causing the engine to close. Any ideas why this error is appearing?

I can’t seem to find out what MSVCP120.dll is for either.

Cheers,
Jon

This sounds like you’re missing the Visual Studio 2013 redistributables.
You can install them from here. Let us know how you get on after installing that package.

Great! That was the problem! Thanks!

I also have the problem, installing the Visual Studio redistributable did not fix it. The DLL is present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin, the VS120COMNTOOLS environment variable points to the right folder. But Unreal is unable to use it.

Did you install both the x86 and x64 redistributable packages? They come in separate installers:

vcredist_x86.exe

vcredist_x64.exe

Hey guy i found a tutorial to fix this issue @ http://www.pcerror-fix.com/how-to-fix-msvcp120-dll-missing-error

download visual c++ redistributable and install it. if you already have it installed on your pc, download and repair it.
you can use windows “control panel” and “programs and features” then find visual c++ redistributable the same version as your visual studio and right click and hit repair

i had the same problem as you on windows 10 and visual studio 2015. my error was msvcp140.dll

I had already visual studio 2013 installed in my computer. And repairing did not worked for me. I reinstalled it and the problem has gone. This link is really useful I am so sorry why did not use this first :

You need to visit http://fix4dll.com/msvcp140_dll and download dll file. It can help only if you replace it with a new file. Don’t search another resources (there are a lot of mailware).

I have faced the same problems some days before but after get to know about Fixdll.net .After download the dll files and i have installed into my computer. It fixes all the issues like engine is not getting close.

A factory reset, also referred to as a hard reset or a master reset, is a software restore for a computer or other device to its original state, by erasing all data and files stored in it so as to get the device back to its original state and manufacturer’s settings.
