Hello,

I cant start GOG Galaxy... It installed just fine but when i open it, an error message appears mentioning an error as the title says. I installed every Visual C++ libraries possible, from 2005 to 2015, tried to repair and even reinstall them, but nothing...

How do i solve this?
Thanks! :D

It didn't work unfortunately... :/
antivirus wasn't blocking the access to the app.

Something is.

I don't know... nothing is blocking it D:
I read on the internet this error appears when Visual C++ 2012 is missing or corrupted. but I have it, reinstalled 2 times, still the same error. I don't get what's wrong...

Thanks anyway for your help :)

Then post the verbatim error message, not just the number.

The message that appears is this:

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). click OK to close the application."

Windows is so annoying sometimes, jesus...

Here is thread with similar issue. You are not alone. This is, strangely, good for the fix chances.


Edit: direct link, sorry.

Here are some things to try:

1. A simple reboot
2. Make sure the game is running in administrative mode
3. Make sure you have .Net installed -- visit Microsoft or update Windows and choose .Net
4. If none of the above work, uninstall Galaxy completely using Control Panel, then re-download it and re-install it.

Personally, I've yet to encounter this error while running Galaxy, although the client poops on me for other reasons. So, I was thinking you can take a look at the visual libraries that I have installed on my system, and see if there's anything you lack, or just pick these libraries instead of downloading everything.

It's also a good idea to delete any old file remnants from your system after uninstalling stuff.

Nothing... no one of the solutions worked...
And unfortunately I need to use Galaxy because I wanted to play GWENT and it requires this app. Damn.

I appreciate your help in any case

Just a thought, have you installed it outside all windows folders, I.e create a folder called c:\galaxy and install there?
I don't use clientware rubbish, but I never install anything in windows folders as it just causes issues.

Okay! I Solved!!

I installed Visual C++ 2017 x64/x86 and it did the trick!

Thank you all for the help :)

i checked my own dlls and required dlls from that i understood that we installed our os reqiured not the gog so we have to install it separately it was 206 dlls so i quit doing it seperately

This worked for me, really thanks.

Not worked for me:
Repair all visual c++ + open gog/game with admin + paste new .dll in system32 and sysWOW64 + http://dependencywalker.com/ + reinstall directX
