Runtime140.dll Error

[Shutterbug2]

After updating to v 11 last Thursday I had no problems using LR, however this morning I have an error message claiming LR bad image runtime 140 dll error. LR does not open. What do I need to do to rectify this? Any help appreciated.

Please let us know the exact version of your OS.

Problem in your OS, I suspect with Visual C++

Use Google, search on:

bad image runtime 140 dll error.

or

Lightroom bad image runtime 140 dll error.

That last search criterria can lead you to:

Photoshop.exe- Bad Image Error on Program Opening in Windows 10

and that will lead you to:
