    This issue has started about a week ago. I booted up my laptop and opened PyCharm - a popular Python interpreter. The program was not willing to open. sometimes I saw it in file manager, and sometimes not.


    After a couple of minutes of searching, I found an online solution. to delete the content of some folder inside of the PyCharm directory. And so I did. Apparently, two files could not be deleted, so I skipped over them. this "fix" did not work, and so I tried re-installing PyCharm.


    The installer had an error message saying that the PyCharm folder is not empty, and so I tried deleting it. two files inside of there were apparently corrupt and could not be deleted. so I went back to the internet and found that typing in CMD "chkdsk C: /f" will restart your PC and perform a drive scan. The scan said there was a problem, and that it could not be fixed. My laptop rebooted and when it did, I could successfully delete the corrupted files.


    a day later I had a Zoom meeting. I launched Zoom. "windows system32 secur32.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error". I tried re-installing Zoom. "windows system32 secur32.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error". so I went on another PC and forgot about it.


    Today, I tried to use the Chrome Webdriver inside of Python. The driver worked just a week before. I got an error message inside of Python, and so clicked on the Webdriver file. "windows system32 secur32.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error". So I get there is a problem at this point.


    I looked it online and apparently, secur32 is super important and will only cause this error because of a virus or tampering with system files and such.


    I do not think this is virus related, as the issue only occurred after the PyCharm corrupted files situation, and because the scan said the issue couldn't be fixed.


    What do I do?

    :)

    windows 10: 'MSVCR120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.'

    Hi,

    Since you are getting same error "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCR120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error".

    We suggest that you refer to this
    thread
    as some customers are also having the same issue and try to check the suggested fix of Santosh_Rai.

    Let us know how it goes.

    C:\windows\system32\msvcr120_clr0400.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error.

    When I try and open TurboTax and a few other programs I get the following message and the programs will not open -

    C:\windows\system32\msvcr120_clr0400.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Error status 0cx000012f.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 14 series 5447 running Windows 10.

    I have removed all the Microsoft Visual C+++ Redistributable programs (from2005 until 2012) and then installed 2010, 2012 and 2015. I have tried many of the suggestions (scan files, etc) and nothing seems to work. Help please.
