MSVCP140.dll missing fix

MSVCP140.dll is a generic DLL file that has the role of providing instructions for certain programs on what actions they can execute. A constituent file of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, the library is often shared between programs and is optimized to launch solely when a program needs it to save memory.

Despite its importance, MSVCP140.dll errors are common and many users find themselves in the situation of not being able to launch a program and games especially because the library is missing. MSVCP140.dll missing fix is a script designed to help copy the missing library to its designated place so that apps can be launched without issues. According to the developer, the idea behind this script is to copy the library from C:\Windows\System32\msvcp140_clr0400.dll to C:\Windows\System32\MSVCP140.dll.

The script spares the trouble of installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 or other applications that are typically dependent on the library. Then again, if the appropriate Visual Studio is installed and the error appears, then it might be a sign of a corrupted or damaged system file. The best case scenario is that the library has simply been deleted accidentally or is just corrupt, a case in which reinstalling the redistributable package would solve it.
