I ran into this as well, and what was missing in my case were the x64 redistributables for Visual Studio.

You can download these here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Note specifically the x64 redistributables were needed; the x86 redistributables do not seem to contain this DLL.

The current name of the download file you need (see link above) is vc_redist.x64.exe.

I got the vcruntime140_1.dll is missing error when trying to run a game I bought on Steam. I have Windows 10.

I downloaded the VC runtime from the MS download center at the link above, but when I tried to install it, it said "Setup Failed" explaining that "Another version of the product is already installed..."

And yet the vcruntime140_1.dll is missing error persists when I try to launch the application.

I also tried going into Control Panel > Uninstall/Change Programs and using the "Repair" function on VC redistributable (x64) 14. No change.

Any advice? I paid money for this game so this is incredibly frustrating.

In case it helps anybody else.

I got this error on Windows 10 after a failed install (and subsequently successful) of MS Office 2016:
"The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll
was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

The error was displayed when attempting to launch any MS Office app.
Firefox browser simply stopped working although it didn't display any errors.

After trawling through numerous sites offering fixes that worked for some folks but not others, I found the site www.techpowerup.com site offering a download of ALL the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes in an All-in-One package.

I downloaded it, virus-checked the download, had a look at the install.bat file, then ran it.

Within a couple of minutes the series of installs all completed, and my apps all worked.

This turned out to be a very easy fix, thanks to the folks who compiled the All-in-One package.

Thank you!! I had the same problem and kept on re-installing 2015-2022 but it didn't fix it. The www.techpowerup.com site with all the files at once was super simple to use. I've been tearing out my hair for hours! This worked finally.

My assessment: it must have been something in the pre-2015 files. Stoked to have my Outlook back! Thanks again.

Thanks this worked for me. I had recently purged all packages chocolatey had installed and Microsoft didn't have them all at the same place. Finally my Sea of Thieves started.

I must say "Thank you very much!!" for posting this fix! As others report here, I ran into the same problem simply trying to install Firefox browser on a new laptop. "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found." After searching for possible solutions, and also running into a fake support site trying to scam me, my searching took me to this page.

I hesitantly clicked the links provided to techpowerup.com, downloaded the all-in-one package, did a virus scan, then installed the files/drivers. After that, I re-downloaded and installed Firefox browser and everything worked perfectly!!

I admit that I don't understand the technical aspects behind the problem, or the fix, but I certainly am happy that it worked and that all of you who posted comments gave me confidence to try this solution.

THANK YOU for getting me out of that jam!

Thank you so much! I discovered this with Firefox first, then it spread to office, but I've been pulling my hair out for days trying to fix it. If this weren't the internet, I would consider myself in your debt.

This worked for me too. Office 2016 business was popping up this error, it stopped as soon as I ran the all-in-one .bat file. I would do as an earlier poster and check the .bat file before running it. This is good practice for anyone that runs .bat files.

Made an account just to say thank you. Need Linux on my computer for a temporary time after I didn't I got rid of it which broke msvcp, vcruntime, and as well as CONCRT and could not for the life of me figure out how to fix it, couldn't run a few games. I was about to just restore the compute but im glad I found this comment cause this fixed everything in about 2 minutes. restarted and was good to go! thanks a lot!

Addendum- I found I was still having an issue with these though I could open apps and use them I noticed the message was still appearing along with command prompts. I noticed disabling Cortana and deactivating its startup, lastly restarting it from the app fixed these dastardly errors.
