Missing MSVCP140D.dll
Describe the bug
AbyssEngine.exe - System Error
The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140D.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
OK
Other similar errors about missing dlls follow this one.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Run AbyssEngine.exe
Expected behavior The game starts
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 10
- Browser Chrome
- Version 98.0.4758.102
Additional context
- I couldn't find the runtime for the D variant
- I also couldn't install VS2015 with the web installer, at which point I gave up.
What version of Windows 10? Have you insured that your windows is not corrupt by running
SFC /scannow
In an elevated command prompt
Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042 sfc /scannow did not find any problem.
Thing is, there IS a MSVCP140.dll file in the bin folder, just NOT the D variant MSVCP140D.dll.
I tried to rename the filed to their D counterpart and now ucrtbased.dll is missing, which is again a D variant of ucrtbase.dll that comes, again, with Visual Studio 2015 or something, and all the web installers are outdated and won't work.
So I finally found a working Visual Studio Build Tools package here, more precisely in the comments. In "Desktop development with C++", I selected "MSVC v140 - VS 2015 C++ build tools" in addition to what was already selected. This took a while to download (2.48GB) and to install (10GB installed), but finally I got past the missing DLLs messages.
If I had to take a guess, I believe the latest release was built in debug mode, while the dev build process copied the release DLLs in the output folder, and also missed some other required ones.
I now have this issue.
Okay and I will let Essial know.

I now have another crash message but I'll start a new issue as it's not related.

Please join us on discord if you'd like help troubleshooting your specific. My first thought is you are missing the latest Microsoft C++ SDK libraries. You are bulding in debug mode and it is looking for the DEV (D) version of the runtime and can't find it.
