VCRUNTIME140

[kobymaiden]

I have this issue now after running Tropico 6 once successfully and playing for 3 hours.  Now Origin gives me this VCRUNTIME140 error at the launch of Origin and at the Launch of Tropico 6 and it will not start.  Strangely Sim Cities works.  

Looking through this Answers HQ area it seems to be WAY TOO COMMON for EA NOT TO FIX IT!

This is not an issue EA needs to fix, this is a user-side issue; please see he following info:

Download and install both the x86 and x64 versions of the required Visual Studio files:

• x86: vc_redist.x86.exe

• x64: vc_redist.x64.exe

If required, the following steps can also help in this situation.

• Right click your game in Origin and then choose Repair
• Run System File Checker to ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
