vcruntime140 dll is a Windows dynamically linked system library. Some computer games like GTA V, ARMA and other popular titles require this component for the correct functioning of basic features. The library is a part of the Visual Studio software suite.

Automatic installation

Users are instructed to add the component to the internal folder on the main hard drive. It can be done automatically by integrating the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 package into the system. The executable file has to be run from the administrative account. Please note that other libraries such as msvcp140.dll will be installed alongside the required component.

Manual copying

There is an alternative way to set up the library. You can place the extracted DLL file into the SysWOW64 or System32 subdirectory in the main Windows folder depending on the architecture of the operating system.

The next step is to add the component to the registry via the command line interface. Users can type regsvr32 and insert the name of the library. It is recommended to restart the computer after the successful registration.
