New submission from Chris Wood: Windows 7 / 64-bit / 4 Gb Ram / Intel i5 processor.
This seems to have been discussed intermittently in the past, but none of the previous answers fixed my problem. I installed 3.5, and when I tried running it (both from the Windows cmd line and from the python cmd line) I received the error "The prodecure entry point strncmp could not be located in the dynamic link library VCRRUNTIME140.dll" I installed 2.7.12 and received the same error. I then uninstalled 2.7.12 and installed 2.7.11 and found that running this worked from the python cmd line but not from the windows cmd line. I then tried installing 3.5.11 and found vcruntime140.dll in the python directory. I copied this to the python 2.7 folder, uninstalled 3.5.11 (and 3.5.12 – after realising that the original installation didn’t seem to have completed successfully anyway, despite saying it had!), and now when I run python from both the windows cmd line and python cmd line it seems to work. ---------- components: Installation messages: 273431 nosy: Chris Wood priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: VCRUNTIME140.DLL not found type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27836> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
