does changing an operating system solve the .dll file issues? - dll

I tried installing Xammp on my pc (windows 8.1) and it says api-ms-....dll is missing. I have tried every solution I've seen online like upgrading my OS, downloading and installing a new visual studio redistributed 2015 but still not working. please would changing the OS solve this problem?
My question is, does changing the OS from maybe windows 8.1 to windows 7 solve this problem? because I have tried most of the online solutions but still having the same issue

You need to install the following windows update: KB2999226 (Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows)
The missing dll api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is installed with a Windows update. To resolve this issue, download and install the Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows from Microsoft. (Source)
Sidenote: The details page from Microsoft was last updated in Jan 2017. You probably should install all other updates that have been released since then.

visual studio crash when try to start kernel debugger

I have a project on my studies to write kernel driver. First step of this project is to prepere working environment, so I installed WDK, installed and configured Windows 7 x64 on virtualbox machine and created hello world kernel driver solution from the internet. After that I could deploy and debug my driver in windows 7 client machine directly from visual studio. Everything worked fine. After few days there was an update to windows 10 (host) - november update 1511, I installed that and (sic!) removed ,,previous Windows installations" to get disk space. Unfortunatelly when I opened my project again - I couldn't deploy and debug my driver due to visual studio crash. I can't find workaround for 3 days which is really frustrating beacause I have to show it to my professor on monday.
What I have tried to do:
I completly reinstalled visual studio and WDK (in host and client machine) and it still happens.
After compile, when I click ,,Debugging tools for Windows - Kernel Debugger", visual studio is crashing
(screen)
I can't get previous installation back and now I have no time to reinstall entire system.
Can you help me, please? Is there a way to get it working again?
PS. Excuse me for my english
I solved that.
After I upgraded my OS, I had still installed WDK 10.0.10240, it was not updated to the newer version. Even if I reinstalled it with new wdksetup.exe downloaded from microsoft site, there was still this version. Microsoft did not update their download page. I searched in google "WDK 10.0.10586.11" and I found the direct link to the newest WDK 10.0.10586.0 on tweettunnel.com/vanhoivo.
The link is:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/E/1/CE19C726-6036-4443-845B-A652B0F48CD7/wdk/wdksetup.exe
After I installed this wdk version, the problem has solved, VisualStudio is not crashing now and I can deploy and debug my driver. However, I think that is a bug in VisualStudio - it should show an error that WDK version is not appropriate
Thanks

WampServer: php-win.exe The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing

if I try to install WampServer the above error appears. I already tried to install all the programs which were recommended, for example here:
WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install
But nothing helps. What can I do to install WampServer?
During the download of wamp server from wampserver website you get a warning..
WARNING : Vous devez avoir installé Visual Studio 2012 : VC 11
vcredist_x64/86.exe Visual Studio 2012 VC 11 vcredist_x64/86.exe :
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
So if you install the vcredist_xxx.exe it will be ok
What solves my problem:
I am using 64 bit Windows 7, so I thought I could install 64 bit Wamp. After I Installed the 32-bit version the error does not appear. So something in the developing process at Wamp went wrong...
As far as I am aware, the MSVCRxxx.dlls are in %SystemRoot%\System32 (usually C:\Windows\System32).
The xxx refers to the version of the MS Visual C Runtime (hence MSVCR...)
However, the complication seems to be that the xxx version is not the same as the two digits of the year "version".
For example, Visual C Runtime 2013 yields MSVCR120.dll and "...Runtime 2012" yields MSVCR110.dll. And then Microsoft packages these as vcredist_x86.exe or vcredist_x64.exe, seemingly irrespective of the xxx version or the Visual Studio version number (2012, 2013 etc) - confused? You have every right to be!
So, firstly, you need to determine whether you need 32 bit, 64 bit or even both (some PHP distributions apparently do need both), then download the relevant vcredist... for the bits AND for the Visual Studio version. As far as I can tell, the only way to tell which vcredist... you have is to start to install it. Recent versions give an intro screen that quotes the Visual Studio version and the xxx version. I have renamed by vcredists to something like vcredist_x64_2012_V11.exe.
[EDIT] Forgot to add earlier that if you are simply looking to "install" the missing DLL (as opposed to resolve some bigger set of issues), then you probably won't do any harm by simply installing the relevant vcredist for your architecture (32 bit, 64 bit) and "missing" version.
Windows 10 x64 released August 2015 - same issue arising. MSVCR110.dll is also found in the sysWOW64 folder (which is where I found it, copying to system32 does not help). To resolve:
uninstall the x86 versions of VC 11 vcredist_x64/86.exe for 2012 and 2013
uninstall WAMP Server 2.5
delete (maybe back up first) the WAMP folder
restart windows
reinstall WAMP 2.5
Hopefully like me you have a MySQL database backup handy!

easyPHP-DevServer 13.1 apache unexpected error

I'm running Win 8.1 for 64 bit processor and installed easyPHP-DevServer 13.1 VC11 and MySQL 5.6.12 update.I'm trying to run it locally on my laptop. When I start easyPHP MySQL runs but apache log gives "unexpected error" and stops. I also get "MSVCR110.dll" is missing error. I installed the missing .dll but when I start easyPHP it still can't find it the .dll. The link for downloading the missing MSVCR110.dll is
http://search.microsoft.com/en-us/DownloadResults.aspx?rf=sp&q=microsoft%20visual%20c%2B%2B%202010%20sp1%20redistributable%20package
I learned on another forum to use the 2010 package not the 2012.
I need an answer for getting easyPHP to find the .dll and how to get apache running.
I'll take a guess and say that you need to download the x86 version of the Visual Studio redistributable. Even though I'm running a 64 bit machine, only the x86 version of the redistributable worked for me (I only tried VS 2012).
After that, Apache ran with no further problems.
Copy the folder of Apache (apache-tomcat-7.0.54) to the directory C:\Program Files (x86) and then just install again EasyPHP and it works. (I have the same problem and it's resolved by this method.)
I had the same problem... My solutions is download Microsoft movie maker. This solutions always work for me...
Here is a URL http://windows.microsoft.com/cs-cz/windows/movie-maker
But be careful, if u will install from windows essentials 2012, u must select 2nd choice. Like "Select programs, will be install" and select only pictures and movie maker

Standard install of VSExpress2012 on Win8, the IDE will not launch

I have a windows 8 x64 machine, pretty new image, and I just installed VS2012 C# express, and the install completed fine. but when I launch the IDE, nothing happens, I do not see a new process starting in Task Manager either.
After googling a bit, people suggest that it may be extensions and to run "devenv.exe /safemode". I did not install any extensions, and "devenv.exe" does not exist in my system. all I can find is %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\WDExpress.exe. This is where the shortcut created on my desktop points too. I have tried using the " /safemode" switch with that .exe, but nothing happens.
I am currently running a repair on the program now, maybe that will fix it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I found the issue, The Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6 was locking some files. After removing it. VS2012 opened right up.

Installing simplest plugin on German Windows XP

I'm trying to figure out why the simplest firebreath plugin wont install on a German Windows XP SP3. I'm running Windows XP as a virtual machine.
The event viewer in Windows XP tells me something about the Windows Installer aborting but not why. I'm logged in as the administrator.
The installer works on Windows 7.
For development I use Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010 and some one months old firebreath trunk.
Is this is known problem? What are the typical steps I could use to track down the issue?
Regards,
Christian
If you get an error saying module can't be found it means that you are missing a .dll file needed to make the plugin work. The most common if it works on most computers (or many) but not that one is that your .dll was compiled with a dynamic runtime, in which case you'll have to install the common runtime for whatever version of visual studio you compiled it with.
For example, the runtime distributable for vs2008 is at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
Dependency Walker might help you to find out which dll is missing.
