PhotoManager_dlx.exe - Application Error

Gary-Howell wrote on 12/26/2021, 7:55 PM

It has been many months since I launched the program (which was previously functioning fine). Now when I try to launch it, I an error that says "PhotoManager_dlx.exe - Application Error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

Thus far I have:
1. Removed and reinstalled Photo Manager.
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled all of the Microsoft Visual C++ programs.
3. Attempted launch.
4. Removed and reinstalled Photo Manager.

After step 1, 3, and 4, I still get the same error message.

Any suggestions to get the program going again, hopefully without losing all of the indexing that I have already done.

Thanks.

@Gary-Howell

Please do not post links to unverifiable sources of Microsoft redistibrutables or any other Windows components/missing dlls etc - you do not know what you may be getting in the way of 'added extras'.

The correct source of the C++ redistibrutables is Microsoft themselves - here.

Understand the concern John. I will say, however, that the download from Microsoft didn't fix the problem but the download from the non-MS site did and without any observed "extras".
