Do you have all the Visual C++ 2005 (x86 & x64), 2008 (x86 & x64) and 2010 (x86 & x64) redistributables installed along with the latest DirectX redistributable?
Is everything up to date so to speak?

[thaCASHdude]

yeah you need to update Visual C++ and DirectX to get it working.

first it was a .dll error (the VCOMP100.dll one, I guess?)

now its saying application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). click ok to close application

There may be a pattern as to why the second error starts occurring... Try being descriptive here:
Before the second error occured, did you install the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package, or did you simply drop a downloaded DLL in a folder?
If you did the former, did you make sure to install only the x64 redist package? Was it the normal one or the SP1 one? Which page did you read the "you need this package..." instructions from?
If you did the latter, and if it indeed causes the second error, then try doing the former instead after having undone the DLL "drop".

I noticed that the FAQ on the main Dolphin website still links to the non-SP1 download pages of the redistributable packages... What if SP1 fixed some installer issue that may have caused a x86 DLL to stay "x86" after a x64 install, something like that?

That SP1 theory could be true indeed!
I always install the SP1 ones straight away along with the latest DirectX and have never encountered the VCOMP100.dll error

fwiw, I updated the link in that thread.

yes all i did was drop a .dll file into my folder im updating my pc i forgot i never did do that so if i do all the updates you guys are saying it will work or is the c++ stuff not included?

should i take that dll out of the folder once i update to SP1 and finish that 6 updates that never did due to it taking for ever...

thanks for all your help guys!

Delete the DLLs that you've downloaded and then install Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable...
