The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002)

Hello.

A couple of users are experiencing this error in Autocad Mechanical 2013 on a Windows 7 32 bit computer:

acad.exe - Application Error

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002).

.... 

No .dwg can be opened derived from this error.

Anyone having an idea on what is happening? or how can we troubleshoot this error?

Thank you

This could be a visual c++ issue. Can you try the following. The visual C++ should be available in your product media or you can download from Microsoft site.

//Uninstall all VC++ versions
//Install Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable
//Install Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable

if the problem persists,  please attach the nfo file.

I had to also to //Install Visual C++ 20010 Redistributable, and this solved he issue.
