    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    The lack of this DLL can be fixed by installing "Visual C++ Redistributable v14". Probably the application that is showing this error depends on it being installed

    Download from the links below. I suggest you install both the x86 and x64 versions.

    x86: https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x86.exe

    x64: https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe

    Source: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist

    If the problem persists, please let me know.

    Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    The missing VCOMP140.DLL error indicates a problem with the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime that Vivado depends on. The DLL is either missing, corrupted, or the wrong version.

    Use these steps:

    1. Repair or reinstall the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015–2022 (x64)
      • Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps.
      • Find all entries named “Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64)”.
      • For each one, choose Modify → Repair.
      • If Repair is not available or fails, uninstall it, then reinstall the latest supported 2015–2022 x64 redistributable from Microsoft and reboot.
    2. Remove conflicting/old C++ redistributables
      • In the same Installed apps list, remove obviously old or duplicate Visual C++ 2015–2019/2015–2022 entries that may conflict.
      • Reboot after uninstalling, then ensure only the current 2015–2022 package is present.
    3. Check if Vivado installed its own older runtime
      • If Vivado has a “redist” or “vcredist” folder and installed an older C++ runtime, it can overwrite newer DLLs.
      • After repairing/reinstalling the latest redistributable, avoid re-running any bundled old vcredist installers from Vivado.
    4. If the error persists
      • Uninstall Vivado.
      • Repair the Visual C++ 2015–2022 (x64) redistributable again.
      • Reinstall Vivado and test immediately after install.

    This approach standardizes the Visual C++ runtime on the machine and prevents older DLLs from breaking applications that need VCOMP140.DLL.
