I just download the Adobe Illustrator and tried to run a 30-day trial program. However, after installation, when I run it for the first time, I was told "The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem ". I am using the Windows 10 operating system. Any solution here? Thank you!

Jacob,
What is the appropriate course of action if the vcredist_x64.exe is not in the location your article references?   I am running Create Cloud version 2.3.0.151.  However when i go to the location your article talks about, all i see is this..

You are welcome, Dave.

I believe this is one for our forum staff friends. Hopefully one of them will see this soon.

I will try to keep an eye out and alert the first one turning up in the forum.

I reached out to tech support and after a little bit of poking around, they determined that the issue was regarding how the Visual Studio runtime package was running on my pc.  They recommended that i contact Microsoft for support.  There was no way I was going to call them, so fearing that I did have some level of corruption at the OS level, I wiped out my OS partition and reinstalled windows.  So far I only put back the PhotoShop CC program and it boots.  So I guess Adobe Tech support was right!

Just wanted to update on my issue.

Here is how to fix any DLL files Errors from your Windows PC

1: First note down the DLL file that is missing. This is shown in the error box itself. For the demonstration purpose, we are having an error saying XINPUT1_3.dll is missing. Where XINPUT1_3.dll is the name of the missing dll file.

2: Now go to the website DLL-files.com and search for the DLL file. In this case its XINPUT1_3.DLL. Download it, to your PC

3: After you download the zip file, extract it and save it in a convenient destination folder. You will have the DLL file in the folder.

4: Now you have to paste this file in the system directory. It varies with Operating System.

For Windows 95/98/Me => C:WindowsSystem

For Windows NT/2000 => C:WINNT\System32

For Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8/8.1, 10 => C:\Windows\System32

Very useful and interesting information! Thank you so much for this article! As far as I know, dll error is easily tackled by downloading it from http://fix4dll.com and saving it to a specific folder.
