Error "The application was unable to install correctly (0xc000007b)"

[Luigi370]

I have an error showing up when I run Dolphin 3.0.
I had to place XINPUT3_1.dll in it's folder before and this message is showing up:
The application was unable to install correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application

Could anyone help me solving this?

This problem has become so common it is obnoxious.

Don't just randomly download dll's to place in th folder. Delete that file and install DirectX runtime and VC++ from Microsoft's site. Make sure that if you have a 64 bit system you install the 64 bit versions, and if you have a 32 bit system install the 32 bit versions.

Use the search function next time.

And for the love of god, don't ever just download random dll's to fix something. Install the package that the dll comes from instead.

Placing random DLLs here and there is a recipe for disaster. That's also not how you properly solve the XINPUT3_1.dll issue. This is info listed in the FAQs.
