4.14.3 "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll" Startup error

I have re-installed it after it showed the first time, but it still keeps showing the error message. ( Windows 7 )

Hi :slight_smile: I fixed this problem 5 minutes ago, I wanted so much to help you yesterday, because I had the same problem and could not find an answer.

  1. Go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features”

  2. Locate “Microsoft visual C++ 2015” (32bit / 64bit depends on your operative system)

  3. click [Change]

  4. then hit [Repair]

  5. After your computer has repaired it, you restart your computer and enjoy EU4.14.3

PS: it could happen that you need Microsoft .NET 2015 to start it, but then it will appear on the screen when you start up :slight_smile:

Hello! Thank you for helping me, but the startup error still shows up.

I have done every step you listed in order, but it still doesn’t startup. The Visual C++ I think you’re talking about is called Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) - 14.0.24212, am I correct? If so, I have done step 2 correctly, and I also did steps 3 and 4, then restarted. After restart, I went to go open it ( desktop shortcut ) doesn’t work, nor “Run as administrator” and launching the program from Epic Games Program.

Thank you, but I’m still confused, I don’t know if I have done something wrong. Still shows up the System Error message:

“The program can’t start because api-ms-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”

If you can help me further, that’d be fantastic, thank you for helping! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Hey

This is likely due to Visual C++ redistributables failing to install correctly. These steps should update the appropriate files for you:

  1. Install Windows Updates
  • Go to Start - Control Panel - Windows Update
  • Check for updates
  • Install all available updates.
  • After the updates are installed, restart your computer.
  • After the restart repeat the steps above again until no more updates are available.
  1. Download the Visual C++ Redistributable:
  1. Run the vcredist_x64.exe (64-bit) or vcredist_x86.exe (32-bit) and select Uninstall

  2. Run the .exe again and select Install

Cheers

If you experience this error during the start of the program.you need to (re)install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, either via Windows Update or download and directly install the Visual C++ Redistributable.
