The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

Hello all,

We are getting this error when running an application under windows 10. Tested on 3 different pcs. It's an old dos app compiled with HMG to run under windows. Runs fine on Windows Server 2012.
Any idea what might be the problem. I tried googling it and says that it might be a problem with VC++ packages. Downloaded and installed them but the problem still persists.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Can you create a simple example and share here?

Thank you Dragan. The link helped. I downloaded the "All in one runtimes" zip https://www.techpowerup.com/download/vi ... l-in-one/
I then installed all the x64 packages (although i had most of them already installed except the 2005 and 2008 version) and nothing happened still same error. After that i installed the x86 packages and the program is now working perfectly.
That was on a x64 version of Windows 10 by the way. I am a bit confused why the x86 packages seemed to fix the issue.

Anyway though it worked and thank you for your help. Thanks to Rathi as well for the interest

Hi Vagblad...
This is because your program is compiled for 32 bits (x86)

Indeed that is true but the same thing does not happen with Minigui Extended. Thats why i was a bit surprised. But what you say makes sense of course. Thank you.

Typically you'll see this error is because there's a mixing of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows or applications

I think you use a mixed lib 32 and 64 bits
