I'm trying to run a windows form application on a windows 7 machine. The application is written in C# under .NET framework. Whenever I try to run the application, it says that VCRUNTIME140_CLR400.dll is missing.
I've tried to google the solution, but I can't find anything about this specific dll.
The only results I get are from VCRUNTIME140.dll. Or are they one and the same?

I developed WindowsForm application using C# with Visual Studio 2010, and I have external DLL (written using VC++). When I deployed it to Windows 7, everything works fine. However, on Windows 8.1, it installed fine and run fine, until the program needed to access the library function inside the DLL. It complained that it couldn't find the DLL (even though the file is in the same location as the executable).
This happened in Windows 8.1 only (perhaps with Windows 8 as well).
Did I link the DLL incorrectly perhaps?
Assuming that your DLL is a windows native DLL, one of two things is happening:
Windows is failing to locate the DLL
The DLL has other dependencies that are not available on the machine
To check, try changing the PATH environment variable to include the folder that your DLL is in. If the program runs then it's a problem with locating the DLL.
If that doesn't work then you'll need to do some more in-depth investigation to find out what is actually happening.
There's a guide here that shows you how to determine what is happening with your program using Process Monitor to find out what is actually failing to load. This might not be your C++ DLL, it could be one of the many dependencies for it.
The answer is the comment from Harry Johnston above:
Most likely cause: the Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft C runtime isn't installed on the Windows 8.1 machine. Or perhaps the C++ class library. Nothing to do with the OS version, except perhaps indirectly. You can diagnose this sort of problem using Process Monitor, look for file not found errors.
I've been using this certain application among previous windows versions (Windows XP-Vista-7-8-8.1) and it has worked perfectly without having any issues, after upgrading to Windows 10 though it started showing EAccessViolation error and spams the place with message boxes saying "Runtime error at XXXX" (memory address)
So what I've been trying to achieve is creating a program in C# which runs the application under all compatibility modes one by one, to check which one works and which one doesn't - and sadly, none of them did.
The application is not mine and has stopped development.
Do you guys have any idea what has changed in Windows 10 code-wise, and how am I able to fix this issue? Is there a way to fully emulate another windows version and run it for this application alone? (Without having to set up a Virtual PC or anything)
Thank you in advance.
Note: Microsoft said that Windows 10 is completely backwards compatible, which it doesn't seem like it? The application does not use any driver, it's just a standalone EXE coded in C++/Lua.
Note2: The EXE calls a DLL which might be outdated for Windows 10, any idea what to do about the DLL? Is there a way to make it work as it did in previous windows?
You can help prevent these kinds of errors from occurring by updating your device drivers after formatting and reinstalling your operating system or installing a Windows Updates. Always install the latest Windows Updates before going through and updating your device drivers.

Troubleshooting BadImageFormatException
(25 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have the following condition:
I have an ASP.NET application with .NET framework 4.5 running at Windows 8 64 bit environment
I have an external DLL library which I will need to use and that it will connect my system to another application locally.
I have tried the following:
down porting my application to .NET 3.5 and 4.0
call DLL library from a Singleton class, as well as static class
compile and debug my application using x86
testing to call the DLL from a Desktop, Web Service, or WCF applications
The problem is, the only successful way to call this DLL is by calling them either from Desktop, Webservices, or WCF applications. I can never call this DLL from my ASP.NET app no matter what condition I tried.
I always run into System.BadImageFormatException, saying that "Additional information: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format . (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B )"
Unfortunately I cannot put any further detail about this DLL. And having my ASP.NET application connected to WCF application runs into performance issues.
Any ideas?
P.S.: terribly sorry for my bad English. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
I have seen the reference that has been given. Although, oddly enough, this reference didn't give any solution to my problem.
As I have mentioned before, I have tried to develop various test applications using x86 and x64 platforms, .NET framework 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5, and any other project type (Desktop app, WCF, except ASP.NET) can execute the DLL call.
Apparently, after a discussion with the author of the DLL, we conclude that only Desktop-like or Service-like applications can make calls to this type of DLL. My understanding was: "ASP.NET applications run within HTTP Context, which executes when user requests a resource" (I am sorry for my shallow understanding, but please correct me if I'm wrong..)
One questions remaining tho:
Is it considerably possible to generate a System.BadImageFormatException from this kind of case?
Change in Visual Studio IDE, the Platform target from “X86 ” to “Any CPU”.
Refer to here Troubleshooting BadImageFormatException
I have an app that I wrote using C# .NET 4.0 in Visual Studio 2010 on my Windows 7 Ultimate machine. This app works fine on both Vista and other Windows 7 computers, but whenever someone running Windows XP tries to run it it crashes.
In order to reproduce this I've tried running it on my Win XP VMWare machine and it crashes for me in there. Unfortunately it doesn't give me any specific error, just informing me that the program has crashed and needs to close.
One other user sent me the following:
Run-time error '339'
Component 'vbalSGrid6.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
Code 0xe0434352
Flags 0x00000001
I don't get that particular bit when I try to run it on my Virtual XP machine, and I also made sure to install .NET 4.0 on there.
What could be causing this, and why won't the app run in XP if the .NET 4 framework is supported for XP?
Components used in the program: DataGridView, ComboBox, Buttons, Labels, LinkLabel, NewtonSoft's JSON parser, and that's about it.
I am baffled and have utterly no idea where to start. Ideas?
UPDATE: Hmm, tried running my other recently created application on XP and it loaded fine. The only major difference (in the components I used anyway) between the two is my use of NewtonSoft's JSON library, which I actually think is a .NET 3.5 component.
UPDATE 2: Just for kicks I tried running the program on my Wind7 machine in "Windows XP SP3" compatibility mode and it ran fine. Of course, I have no idea just how closely the "compatibility mode" emulates a true XP SP3 environment, but I figured I'd give ya'll the info anyway.
¡¡ IT WAS THE APPLICATION ICON !!
I kept noticing that the module it referenced in the error it gave me was system.drawing which I thought was odd. I figured perhaps the PictureBox I was using was causing the issue, so I tried disabling everything to do with that, to no avail.
I had my business partner set up his XP box so that we'd have another machine to test with aside from my VMWare XP box just in case there was some odd issue with it.
After he got it set up and the app copied over he said "The icons look like DOS ones" and I had a eureka moment.
I was using .PNG's as the icons because they support transparencies and whatnot, but XP doens't natively support them. So when the app was copied to the desktop it just used a generic icon for it, and when the application was run it crashed because XP doesn't know how to render a .PNG.
Try using the Fusion Log Viewer to debug startup errors in .NET applications.
Scott Hanselman has written a nice howto along with links to further resources if you need to go deeper.
Are we sure this is some wierd .NET compatibility issue or just a run of the mill bad installer/deployment problem?
Here's one user who has that error message because the OCX DLL was copied to System32 with a shortname. Renaming the DLL to the correct name and running RegSvr32 resolved his problem.
Do you have an installer? Have you correctly identified all of your managed and unmanaged dependencies and properly authored them into your installer?

I'm trying to get a PNRP based C# application running but I can barely get started with it.
Initially I had to download the .NET framework version 4 to get the correct references available to me.
When the first call is made I get a "pnrp could not be started" exception.
I tried to explore PNRP using netsh, but the command netsh p2p doesnt seem to be available.
Could anyone tell me if there is some add-on I am missing or if I have made a mistake anywhere.
I am running Windows XP Professional, service pack 3.
Resolved.
