Free Trial not working, please help!

[tjqp3]

I downloaded the trial for autocad and It's not working on my computer it says:

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application."

So all I'm able to do is click ok and can't do anything beyond that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try the below solution 

1.) Search the folder you installed the product from for a file called MSVCR100.DLL. If you find multiple copies select one with a file size of 809 KB

2.) Copy MSVCR100.DLL from the location in the install folder

Paste it into

C:\Windows\System32\ 

C:\Windows\Syswow64\ 

say yes to replacing the file

3.) Reboot your system and try lunching the product again.
