Windows 10: msvcp120.dll / msvcr120.dll is either not designed to run on Wondows or it contains an error.

After upgrading to windows 10 1903, error messages pop up at re-start or running certain software, saying " msvcp120.dll / msvcr120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error..... Error status 0x000012f". Before upgrading (win10 1809), there was no such an error and everything was running smoothly without any issue. How to fix this problem?

msvcp120.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error

Hi.

I've just upgraded to Windows 10, but now when I try to open most Adobe programs an error like this shows.... "msvcp120.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error...". I've purchased dll file fixer, and it hasn't helped.

Please help me

Thanks.

 

MSVCP120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Please help to fix nothing has worked.

Hi,

It's really odd that half of your programs won't run because of the error message "MSVCP120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error". The
.dll could be the culprit behind why the error message is showing up. However, let's try if these steps will make a difference:

• We're going to test it first with one of your programs. Uninstall one of the programs that is experiencing the issue.
  
• Manually replace the DLL once done uninstalling the program.
  

• Remove MSVCR120.dll from c:\Windows\System32\MSVCR120.dll.
• Download and install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013.
• Restart your computer.

Download C++ 2013 library on this link.

3. Install the program again that you've uninstalled using an

account or user profile that has Administrator rights and

Administrator privileges. You may also need to right-

click and Run the program As Administrator.

4. Once done installing the program, run it and see if the

issue persists.

We're looking forward to your feedback.
