Lightroom does not start after latest update error 126

same error here today, clean windows 10 installation.

did you fix the problem. do you have an amd video card?

i have the same problem... it's very lame from adobe! Not fixing this error? ... i pay for the cloud....

I have almost the same problem, but with the book Module:

Could not run script: BookModuleFactory.lua Error Win32API error 126 when calling ::LoadLibrary from getCFunction

I uninstalled Lightroom and reinstalled it. No change; it still gets this error.   I finished a book 3 days ago and had no problems creating or uploading it to Blurb and obviously had no problem with the Book Module.  Now, it won't open the book module at all.  I can do everything else in LR.   I am running the latest version of Lightroom Classic on a Windows 10 64-bit pro.

This looks like a bug to me.

Replying to this, just because I have the same problem. Just got the subscription, downloaded the app and I got 2 errors, including this one. And I just can't get my Lightroom to work, no matter what. Tried the VC++ as well, but it didn't help.

I have just installed LR for the first time on a clean install of Windows and am getting the same error. How is this software not funcitonal straight off the bat?

I was doing images for my website and the same thing happened to me, my solution was to uninstall it, restart the whole computer and reinstall it.

Hi Christophl,

Sorry that you're getting an error message "could not run the script..." while opening Lightroom desktop.

You will see this message if you have a bad installation. Please checkout the steps troubleshooting below:

• Uninstall Lightroom desktop via the Adobe Creative Cloud Application
• Restart your computer.
• Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to reinstall Lightroom desktop. Here's how to install and use it: Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

Let us know if that helps.
