Oh yeah the title got messed up. So in nutshell i just get this when i try to launch it. "[color=#000000]The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll "[/color]

Well, you can run windows update to get your system up to date, or install this directly - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows. That should take care of it!

Ah, you must be running vanilla Windows 7. Dolphin requires Windows 7 SP1 now, so you need to install that update first! Or just run Windows Update.

https://gyazo.com/b593b759d5b251713275bef77203a7ef Doesnt this mean i already have SP1? Dolphin 4.0 works fine.

Hmm, that it does. Well, I don't know why the C runtime update isn't working then! Make sure you are downloading the Windows 7 SP1 version of the C runtime I guess.

I assume this is after removing the 32bit dlls from https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-dolphin-5-0-the-application-was-unable-to-start-correctly-0xc000007b

I think dolphin uses VS2017 now? if so the FAQ needs an update

In my personal experience this error is caused by a faulty/defective Windows installation. I have had the same issue on my girlfriends Lenovo laptop, which was completely up to date, but was unable to install any C-libraries. After tinkering with this for a couple of weeks (I am an IT-professional with several degrees and certificates in troubleshooting Windows 7, and have scoured the web, there was no one actually able to solve the issue. I even used my TechNet-account to ask questions and called Microsoft support myself, all to no avail) the only solution was to make a complete clean installation of Windows 7 SP1 (I had used the reset of the Lenovo software which installs windows with bloatware which didn't work either)
