Full Version: Running Dolphin 5.0 - Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64)

I'm having some issues running Dolphin 5.0. When I try to run it, I get a system error reading "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I can uninstall the program without any problems, but when I run the installation again to reinstall it, it seems to get stuck while processing Windows7_MUS_x64. The log file created during installation is attached to this post.

I am currently using Dolphin 4.0.2 (I know that it's really old, but I like using stable releases). I want to upgrade to using release 5.0 for many reasons, but I will continue in the meantime by using the later (than Dolphin 4.0.2) revisions.

Any help, advice, and/or assistance that anyone could offer would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Did you install the 64-bit Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2015?

Yes.
I have also found that I cannot run the revisions without this problem fixed.
That error log was surprisingly helpful.

So it looks like it's failing here.

Applying execute package: Windows7_MSU_x64, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\54050A5F8AE7F0C56E553F0090146C17A1D2BF8D\packages\Patch\x64\Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu, arguments: '"C:\Windows\SysNative\wusa.exe" "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\54050A5F8AE7F0C56E553F0090146C17A1D2BF8D\packages\Patch\x64\Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu" /quiet /norestart'

Googling that package name brought me here

A user managed to fix it by reinstalling SP1 for Windows 7 here, which begs the other question, are you up to date in Windows Update?

After that, I googled the error code after that and was brought here

Perhaps renaming C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18 to something else would fix it if the above doesn't work.
Helios, thank you, again, for your help. I just came across something that I have never seen nor heard of before; it came up as I was trying to work with reinstalling service pack 1. First, I ran the installer to try installing it (though I was certain that it was installed). I ran the installer and it told me that I already had service pack 1 installed; so I proceeded to uninstall it. I looked on the list of installed updates and I didn't see it there, so I used an elevated command prompt to try to uninstall it, and again, it said that service pack 1 isn't installed. I went back to the installer file (a windows update package that I downloaded [filename: windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe]) to try to install it again, and, the same thing as before: "Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is already installed"
I suppose the question now is "How would I install/reinstall/uninstall (whatever it may be) Service Pack 1?"

Thank you, KHg8m3r, I've been wondering about a tool like this for a long time. Alas, however, "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." Thus, the tool couldn't provide me any further assistance.
Sounds like something is reeeeeaally screwed up with your Windows Update system. I've seen that more than I would like with Windows 7 users.

I think the only solution that we could ever give was reformatting.
Darn it! (I just got my computer set up to multiboot between Debian and Windows) That's alright, though; it'll all work out. Thanks for your help, Helios!
