application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
When I try to start my server now I keep getting “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)” several times. I did a search on the problem and I found that it seems to be a case where a 32-bit app tried to load a 64-bit DLL. Are there any other causes for this problem? How do I narrow down where I went wrong?
I am using Windows 7 x64, ActivePerl-5.12.3.1204-MSWin32-x86-294330, mysql-5.1.73-winx64 and VS 2017 Community Edition. I am using the x86 dependencies or so they were labeled. I was able to configure cmake and compile with no errors. |
Fixed?
I ran into this issue/error trying to start the client, not the server; so your mileage may vary. This error code may be generic for a slew of .dll issues but I'm not totally sure.
I know this is a bit of an older thread but perhaps if anyone else lands up here with this problem this might be your manual solution...I suddenly ran into this issue today. I fixed it by dumb luck and I have no idea how it even got broken. If you're running a 64 bit OS (Windows 10 for me) you should have a folder in your main Windows folder called SysWOW64. Go online and download the 'd3dx9_30.dll' file. it's free off of the dll-files site. Make sure you grab the 32 bit version and NOT the 64 bit version. I know, right? Makes no sense. Drop that file in the SysWOW64 folder and your problem should go away for the client issue. I actually tried using the 64 bit .dll and still had the same problem. I have no idea what compelled me to try the 32 bit version especially in a 64 bit named folder. If you are not running Windows 10 without that folder, try dumping the .dll in your 'system32' folder. Just an idea but I can't confirm that this method works. If you can't see some of these folders; you may have to goto your system folder options and check the 'unhide' option. Good luck. |

In regards to the 32-bit directx dll, Microsoft still offers the download: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...ils.aspx?id=35 |
One will also find that file in a Directx 9.0c installation. ;)

There are a few links out for the download.
I tried a couple and they failed due to the installer not recognizing windows 10. The link I posted above 'should' be the one that does recognize windows 10. |
