I installed Dreamweaver this evening and when trying to launch for first time I get this message:

The procedure entry point_crtCreateSymbolicLinkW could not be located in the dynamic link library

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP110.dll.

I'm a beginner and this is way over my head. Please advise!

Hi,

So, Dreamweaver is a C++ Application and it needs Visual C++ Redistributable packages to install runtime components which aid in running DW. It is recommended to install these from the the Microsoft site which thereby fix these dll errors. Win 7 may not contain some redistributables so you can install them.

For ex- Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 can be downloaded from- https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 from Official Microsoft Download Center

For 64 bit computers, you need to install both 64 bit and 32 bit packages

Thanks Niharika for this heads up...

is there is any way to control, if that packages are present or not on an OS ?

Hi,

The only solution would be updating your Windows with the latest updates for this to work.Most of the times, when we hear such issues either Windows is not updated or the dll is corrupted because of some unknown software.
