api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll error in AutoCAD 2017

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Apr 2016 03:11:12 GMT

Can anyone help me solve this error. I Installed AutoCAD 2017 on my laptop which is running Windows 7 Professional. Upon launching i encountered this error - api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. I tried a solution from what I have read from other sites like Windows update etc. but it did not work. Any help will be appreciated.

thanks,

Dennis

Hi John,

I tried the solution you posted. The error was gone but when I ran AutoCAD 2017, I encountered an unhandled exception error. Would you also know what's causing this.?

thanks,

Dennis

Hi,

>> when I ran AutoCAD 2017, I encountered an unhandled exception error

When exactly, and which error?

Does that happen while AutoCAD is initializing, or when AutoCAD is alread started and you do the first click, or AutoCAD is already working and the crash happens during the work (with a specific command, or a specific drawing)? Show us a screenshot so we know where you are.

And "an error" is not very specific, please let is know which one, screenshot would be a good start.

Hi John and Alfred,

The error happens while AutoCAD is initializing. It takes around 5 mins before the error appears while AutoCAD is initializing. When I clicked OK, a screen appears prompting me to send an error report to Autodesk. I am attaching the error I encountered.

thanks,

Dennis

Hello,

We're receiving the same error on the TrueView 2017 install, computer having troubles is a Windows 7 32 bit version.

a. Attempted running windows updates, windows is all up to date.

b. Attempted manually copying the files in place from the installs folder, did not try the windows 10 dev kit dlls, as the system is not a windows 10 machine, not sure if the pack is supposed to be compatible.

c. Tried to register the .dll file with windows regsvr32 command, but given dll would not register with windows, reciving error "...DLL entry point not found..."

d. Eventually rolled back to the TrueView 2015 version, and this version worked as expected.

Just an update, I think that would have fixed it, but now we're stuck with other things on this particular machine.

I did an full uninstall of the V++ 2015 package, rebooted, re-installed, rebooted one more time for good measure. Then went to go add the TrueView 2017 version back in to test, and now we're getting an error that the PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Found that the requirments for the video card are higher than what this guy has, and it's too old to update, so unfortunately we can't keep moving on the 2017 version for this one. Most notable thing is that the install wan't picking up on the requirements issue before we did the repairs to the vc++ software, so that may be a good indicator that something more is working now than was previously. Our users are fine with the 2015 version for now, we're going to replace the computer in the near future anyways due to the age of it. Also, some further notes about what may have been the root cause - on further inspection, I found that this particular machine has 3 versions of the vc++ runtime libraries, all installed and running in parallel; this one has the 2010 version, 2012 version and also the most current, 2015 version as well.

Thank-you,

-Troy

Hi @Anonymous,

It sounds like you have made some positive progress. I am sorry that the workstation hardware does not meet requirements but at least you should be up and running in a stable environment for your 2015 product.

Hi @Anonymous

If you have downloaded the executable file then perhaps starting up in a Diagnostics mode will allow you to get it to install completely.
