So I suppose that all the changes to installer I made to correctly install
UCRT, and handle all the oddities resulting from MS making it so ridiculously
hard, fixed this. No reports in current versions. Closing FIXED. Any newer
problems, even looking similar, need own reports, possibly with this one in See

Kumāra: since you had to install crt things, I'd do the famous steps to be sure
everything is clean with LO part:
- uninstall
- clean registry (with ccleaner or any tool you trust)
- remove any remnant Lo files you got
- remove LO profile (see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Windows) 
- install LO again (6.2.4) from official website

(check if you choose LO 64 bits, you should have Java 64 bits, 
...LO 32 bits -> Java 32 bits)

api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is an essential piece of the Microsoft Visual
C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio. It assumes a crucial job in the running
and working of specific sorts of documents and windows program. Significantly
clients who do have put in new crisp Windows OS on their PC faces this issue.

I've just installed LO6.0.4. Hm... Same old
"api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing".

Then, I took one of the suggestions from the webpage I suggested earlier
(http://www.thewindowsclub.com/api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0-dll-is-missing): 

Update for Universal C Runtime
Download the Update for Universal C Runtime from Microsoft
(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows).
Install the Runtime component and restart your computer and see. Just for your
information, starting with Windows 10, the Universal CRT is part of the
operating system.

Then, I started LO. No error message. OK... So far so good. And I waited, and
waited, monitoring WTM. I saw soffice.bin there, but it seemed stuck. And I
waited, and waited.

Suddenly the LO "splash banner" came out. Alright... And I waited, and waited,
and... yes! LO is up and running!

But gee... that took a very long time. I guess some kind of run-once initiation
was necessary, or it's just my computer. Anyway, to be sure, I unloaded and
reloaded LO, and startup was fast, even without the quick-starter.

Great.

But now for some strange reason, the fonts provided with LO (DejaVu,
Liberation, etc) all appear like Courier New. I can't even use them on other
programs. I suppose restarting the computer would solve this.

--- Comment #60 from Mike Kaganski  ---
A bit too long explanation of the problem's timeline to this already a bit too
long thread; writing this here to be able to refer to when clarifications
needed in the future.

After LibreOffice 5.3 was branched off, in the early 2017, the development
branch toward 5.4 had switched to Visual Studio 2015 as baseline compiler for
Windows [1]. This was needed to switch to the next CRT and C++ standard support
(which in turn allows to write more efficient and less error-prone code, and
thus, improve development for a huge codebase that LibreOffice is), and the
switches to the new C Runtime library have happened before each time we
upgraded compiler requirements; previously, these switches did not give much
headaches, because we have always bundled the C Runtime redistributable in form
of merge modules provided by Visual Studio itself [2].

This time, however, it turned out that we had overlooked that Microsoft had
changed the redistributable and its installation since 2015 version. Now the
redistributable consists of two independent parts (VCRT and UCRT), and the
latter is the system component (included in the base installation of Windows
10, but required to be installed separately to Windows XP to 8.1). And what's
important, MS own redist merge module used in LO installer *does* include the
UCRT bits as well as VCRT, but it only installs the former to Windows XP, while
for Windows Vista+, it does not do that (for purpose - see comment by James
McNellis from 2016-03-11 at [3]).

So, having missed that at the 5.4 testing phase somehow (possibly because those
who tested on Win 7-8.1 all had VCRedist 2015 installed separately), users
started to complain about this bug when installing onto Windows 7 through 8.1
*without* VCRedist 2015. Those using Windows XP or Windows 10 were unaffected.

To solve the problem, we had implemented the App-local deployment of the
Universal CRT (see #6 at the bottom of the article [3]) since version 5.4.3 [4]
- see comment 21 and the two below for commit notifications. This meant that we
put the required UCRT libraries into the LibreOffice installation directory,
and thus not rely upon system UCRT. As mentioned, while this works, this is not
a recommended option, and may create security concerns. So, at the time of
those commits, Christian already mentioned that it's a workaround, not the
proper solution.

So, we kept working to find a way to use the correct MS-advised UCRT install
method in LibreOffice installer, and for 6.0, we included [5] the installer
from Microsoft [6] (see comment 7) into the MSI so that it was launched at the
end of installation process, asked to authorise second time, and then did
whatever it was needed to install both VCRT and UCRT. So, we were pretty sure
that now everything should work as it should, because the MS installer would of
course do it properly.

And of course, it didn't. It turned out that it worked only partially on those
systems that didn't match the minimal requirements for the UCRT [7] - those are
April 2014 rollup for Windows 8.1, Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, and Service
Pack 2 for Windows Vista (the latter being irrelevant for LO 6.0+). The MS
installer only installed VCRT component, and reported success, while UCRT
remained missing on the system. And at the 6.0, we started to receive the new
wave of the same error reports from users attempted to install LibreOffice on
those systems not matching the UCRT (and LO [8]) minimal requirements.

So the next part of the solution was to fix out installer to properly detect
those OS versions, and prevent LO from installing there (because, naturally,
the vital UCRT system component would be missing there, and LO wouldn't run
anyway), issuing proper message. That was done in the commits notified by
comment 38, comment 44, comment 46 and below. Since then, the only remaining
issue (which cannot be solved on the LibreOffice installer side) is when user's
system is broken in a way, so that it either cannot install UCRT (being
eligible for it), or reports that it's already installed, but actually it's
not. The broken OS (which might be caused by e.g. third-party software playing
dirty tricks with ucrt - see bug 115405 for example) is outside of the scope of
this bug.

And last (at the time of writing this) is the commits that have changed the
UCRT installation procedure for 6.1 [9]: we now don't bundle the EXE from
comment 7, but instead, UCRT packages from [10], which are installed (using
proper MS tooling [11] for Windows Updates) in the course of main installation
process, instead of launching separate second installation after LO
installation has finished. This allows us to avoid the second authorization
step, making installation experience more smooth; and also allows to install
UCRT in unattended scenarios (which were unsupported in 6.0, and required
separate UCRT

Thanks for taking the effort to explain. I'm much clearer of the picture.

Meaning, by right, it should work unless something is wrong with the user's
system.

I was misled by your exchange with SpongeBob that the fix was merely to detect
the lack of components the new LO depend on.

Anyway, I'll give LO6.0.4 a shot and report back.

(In reply to Kumāra from comment #57)

LibreOffice installer for 6.0 (and 6.1, in a different form) *does* include the
files. In 6.0, it's the whole VC redist installer from comment 7, ~14 MB, that
is launched at the end of installation. The difference from all of (LO 5.4,
FireFox, Avast) is that 6.0+ does not put the files in LO's own directory, but
installs the component properly using its own installer. It is done not to save
space, but to ensure that system components (and ucrt *is* a system component)
are getting updates from the component's vendor. Otherwise, e.g. a security
treat may arise from a user unknowingly using unpatched version of ucrt in LO,
while the user might be sure that OS is fully updated (and not know that some
sw bundles older vulnerable copies of OS components).

Erm... Probably not. I see under Avast, it's part of 2 folders of seemingly
relevant stuff, about 5MB. (I think  one is for 32bit and the other for 64bit.)

I'd still prefer that LO could make use of what's already in Windows, instead
of installing extra baggage. I'll try to solve it myself. However, less
tech-savvy ones would probably just give up. So, again, perhaps LO might just
consider just include it in the package. OR maybe what you mentioned for 6.1 is
something niftier.

--- Comment #56 from Kumāra  ---
Wonder if this is relevant here:

The file api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll exists in my computer, many times
over, for Mozilla Firefox, Avast and Calibre, besides 2 instances under
Windows.

As suggested by the webpage I showed above, I've tried to re-register the file
with regsvr32. For both instances, I got this error message:

The module "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll" was loaded but the entry-point
DllRegisterServer was not found.

Make sure that "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file
and then try again.

Come to think of it, it's just a 23kb file. If Mozilla Firefox, Avast and
Calibre can include it as part of the package, perhaps LO can too. This is
assuming the issue lies with this file only.

This bug, this "Cannot run LibreOffice" because
"api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing". Anyway, I now get that you're
saying it's completely not in the domain of LO, which can at best only get
Windows to download the needed components.

I just found this which affected ones might be interested to try:

I get that. Now still waiting for responds from others here who might have
tried the latest.

Which specific issue do you refer to as "this"?

Currently, the installer for Windows must:
1. Properly detect all OSes that LO *cannot* be installed to - on these OSes,
you are *not* expected to "just install" this version of LO, and properly
informing and exiting is all that *should be* done;
2. Properly install the redist on the OSes where it *is* applicable.

In the next version (6.1), the installer will also install the required
components without additional interaction (no additional
authentication/authorization), much like before 6.0 (though the inner machinery
is different), to improve installation experience.

A broken OS is a special case for any software. An OS without a required
component (as in SpongeBob's case) is unsupported (1) case. Inability to
install any component on an OS is *not* a problem LibreOffice installer should
deal with.

OK, but is this all that can be done for this issue? I was hoping I could just
install LO and be done with it.

Anyway, I'm hoping to save some time for me. Other than SpongeBob, has anyone
else tried? What's your experience?

Of course... not :/ My Os is 64Bit and the update also..

Does it say WHY "The update is not applicable to your computer"? Just acting on
a possible cause: Is your OS 32-/64-bit?

Great! So I see that the detection works correctly.

In this specific case I'd suspect some kind of corrupted system. It reminds me
of bug 115405, where a system component was installed incorrectly by some other
application. https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/152440 gives another
example of a third-party script breaking system, which happened to surface when
using LibreOffice.

This kind of problem requires individual investigation and fixing on system
level, but is outside of this bug 108580.

I was having the problem with Win7 al LO, upgrade my pc to sata and Windows 8.1
and get the same problem: the 2015 c++ runtime fail to run the x86 msu included
in the  runtime.
The solution was update Windows 8.1 to the requisites of the 2015 c++ runtime(
agust 201 rollup update?) then can install the c++ runtime and get working
LibreOffice.
One alternative was download LibreOffice portable and copy the missing files to
the main LibreOfiice

I just encountered this issue for the first time after upgrading LibreOffice
from 5.3.x to 6.0.2 on some old Win 7 computer.
I noticed that the installer tried to install some VC runtime, and even tough
it apparently was successful I think (I didn't pay that much attention, sorry
:/) I still had to install the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3
mentioned in Comment #7 manually myself (then it worked)

No, it will not. In 5.4, we had this temporary workaround (app-local
redistributable), but as soon as we have found a way to avoid placing the
libraries into the application directory, we have switched to that.

Having redistributable app-local means that this important third-party system
component is not monitored and updated as required, e.g., when a security flaw
in it is discovered. So - the release notes clearly indicate the minimum
requirements to Windows OS that we support, which is Windows 7 SP1.

--- Comment #37 from Nickloh  ---
I have tried out the newest version of LibreOffice
(LibreOffice_6.0.1_Win_x86.msi) and I also receive the same issue. I use Window
7 without SP1 and thus unable to install Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update
3 (as in Comment 7).

I have found a temporary solution for this issue 
(solution courtesy of Boris Silva R - Comment 26):

1. Install the Portable Version of LibreOffice.
2. Navigate through LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\program and copy these
dll files into LibreOffice Program File (LibreOffice\program)

A) all api-ms-win-*.dll. 
B) ucrtbase.dll

I wish that in the future installation pack it will include these dll files in
the installation.

It wasn't SP1 that was required to run it. It was an update that needed SP1 to
be installed. Right now I don't recall which update it was, but chasing down
dlls pointed me to the update. I then tried to install the update, and Windows
told me my version of Windows was not correct for the update. More searching
showed that SP1 was required to install it.

So, it's not SP1 that was the issue. But if you had never installed it, you
would also never get the update that had the dlls that were needed.

Maybe not. Mine has SP1 right from the start.

I found a possible cause. Seems to be related to Service Pack 1 for Windows 7.
I had not ever installed this service pack, and when I started manually getting
the dlls that were listed as not being found, I found they were related to an
update that will only work when SP1 is already installed.

I did a full wipe of my PC, and started fresh with W7SP1 installed. The redist
package installs correctly from a download from MS, and then LibreOffice starts
no problem.

Just an idea. Check to make sure SP1 is installed. Might fix your issue. Also
might specify in the system reqs (if not already done) that SP1 is required for
6 to work with Windows 7.

I mean - unexpected, that while the redistributable was on system, LibreOffice

... so you had the redistributable installed and listed in uninstall list?
Absolutely unexpected.

What is your OS? (Please give details from winver launched using command line
or Winkey+R).

What is the bitness of LibreOffice you used?

Hi guys, I just downloaded 6.0.0.3 and installed it over 5.3.x and it seems the
problem is still not solved. I get the same error message as the OP, so I tried
to:

1) Repair the installation – no success
2) Remove LO and Visual C++ Redistributable for VS 2015 and perform a fresh
install – no success although I saw the Visual C++ Redistributable for VS 2015
was a part of the installation
3) Manually install the Visual C++ Redistributable for VS 2015 Update 3
mentioned in #7 – finally I got it working

I think this can discourage many of the potential LO users… :-(

It seems that 2015+ vcredists aren't MSI-dependent (rather, they contain MSU
packages in it, which require wusa.exe to run).

Maybe these packages won't conflict with MSI process, and thus, will allow us
to run from installer? We could try to package the vc_redist.exe to out MSI,
and run it in case a pre-requisite fits (OS + absence of the redist)?

This is the second time I have failed to install a 5.4 version of LO because of
this failure.  I had hoped it would have been resolved by now.  I did not find
the link mentioned in comment 7 was entirely transparent - it offers two
different packages to download, with no explanation as to which is what.  I
guessed correctly, but I think more guidance (or a proper resolution) might
help others.

Anyone coming new to LO would likely just give up and look for something else:
failed installations are IMHO a critical error - nothing works.

Somehow this didn't work for me. Neither did Still version: 5.3.6.
I've opted to return to 5.2.5.1, and will stay on until this bug is resolved.

Is this serious enough to escalate Importance to major? Most Windows users
meeting this problem will likely not be able to solve it on their own.

While a solution is being discussed, I suggest placing a prominent note on the
Windows download page on the requirement. Those who rather not deal with this
issue on their own should go for the Still version for now.

People I am SO NOT AMUSED here at all.  While you are blathering around on this
the installation instructions on the website say that Libreoffice has a
dependency on VC 2008 C++ not VC 2015 C++ Update 3.   Do you what to know how
much time I've already wasted installing various C++ redistributables before
stumbling over this bug, trying to get the program to work on a brand new fresh
installation of Vista?  I finally tried uninstalling LO before reading this and
now it won't reinstall at all whether or not the correct runtime is installed. 
And by the way MS has _2_ 2015 redistributables for download and of course I
tried the wrong one first.

There is no problem at all with putting a check into the LO installer looking
for the correct redistributable and telling the user to download it and install
it first then aborting the installer.   Because now, I have no choice it seems
but to do a complete nuke and repave of the machine since the uninstaller in LO
obviously got broken during the uninstallation.

Quite trying to dumbify down the LO software installer and give us some credit
for enough brains to find, download and install the correct VC++
redistributable before installing LO if you DOCUMENT THE FACT IT IS NEEDED in
the installation instructions.   I read through the install instructions first
and they just steered me wrong.   You have been waffling around on this bug for
weeks now DOCUMENT THE PREREQUISITE FIRST THEN ARGUE ABOUT IT LATER.

> On Windows Vista and newer operating systems, the Universal CRT is
> installed via Windows Update—either when the machine downloads new
> updates from the web or when you install one of the redistributable
> packages from the Download Center (the November build, 10586, can be
> found here:
> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50410).
> Windows Update redistributables do not use MSI; they have a different
> installer technology. Because they do not use MSI, there are no MSMs
> for the Universal CRT. For Windows Vista and newer, installation of
> the Windows Update packages is the only supported way to get the
> Universal CRT onto the machine in the system directory. The Visual C++
> libraries MSMs install the Universal CRT on Windows XP only because
> the Universal CRT is not an operating system component on Windows XP
> (and Windows XP does not support the same Windows Update packaging
> mechanisms that are used on Windows Vista and above). Do not modify
> the MSMs.

So, it turns out that we cannot bundle the Universal CRT with the installer. In
that case, we have a hard external dependency on those systems, that we must
mention on release notes page. And possibly on the download page, with a link
to MS site (mentioned in comment 7).

[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 108580] Cannot run LibreOffice, api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing ( for local solution see comment 7)

--- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski  ---
The problem is condition for component
"ucrtbase.dll_system_x86.E281B893_10D7_34CE_BB0E_B69D88E154A5", which is

((VersionNT = 501) OR (VersionNT = 502)) AND (VC_REDIST=1)

This is only true for WinXP systems. So, I assume that the problem is only with
Vista+ systems that have no Universal C Runtime preinstalled (up to Windows
10?). Changing the condition to simple

VC_REDIST=1

allows me to install and run LibreOffice on the above-mentioned test system.

Searching for "VersionNT" over repository doesn't give any similar results, I
assume that this comes from merge module itself.

The Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 download page references
KB 2999226 [1], which tells about different Universal C Runtime packages for
different Windows versions. This makes me think that there might be different
merge modules for different Windows versions, that we might need to include
into installer, each one with its own VersionNT condition. I am not sure that
simply forcing the WinXP version (that we bundle now) to install on any Vista+
is a proper solution.

Install log for an installation resulted in non-functional program

This is an installation log taken on a freshly-installed Windows Server 2008
Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1), no updates, with command line

msiexec /i C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\LibreOffice_5.4.0.3_Win_x86.msi
/l*vx C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\LOinst.log

The installation completed successfully, and then launching the program
resulted in the mentioned error message:

---
soffice.exe - System Error
---
The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing
from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. 
---
OK

--- Comment #8 from Mike Kaganski  ---
As documentation states, [1] if a directory name *starts with* one of
predefined SystemFolder properties, a CustomAction type 51 is generated for it.
"It does not verify that the directory name exactly equals the directory
property. Any directory beginning with one of these standard folder names gets
a type 51 custom action, even if the rest of the name is not a GUID."

Our fix for bug 105311 follows this description literally. But my concern is if
we are victims of another MS documentation flaw. I mean, the passage "The
tables in the merge module must reference the location of a child directory of
TARGETDIR, *or another directory in the merge module's tree*" in the mentioned
documentation page (emphasis mine).

The C-Runtime merge module has two directories in it, named

SystemFolder.E281B893_10D7_34CE_BB0E_B69D88E154A5
and
SystemFolder_x86_VC.E281B893_10D7_34CE_BB0E_B69D88E154A5

The former has its parent set to TARGETDIR, and the latter has its parent set
to former (SystemFolder.E281B893_10D7_34CE_BB0E_B69D88E154A5). I.e., they form
a hierarchy (though the latter doesn't define any subdirectory).

But we generate two custom actions for both of them, because they both do begin
with "SystemFolder". Thus, we may break the hierarchy (that's my guess).
Intuitively, this shouldn't break things, as we still point both to a proper
location, but who knows.

Could it be that MS documentation must be read as "if directory name *before
dot* is equal to one of pre-defined SystemFolder properties, ..."?

area) to CC list.
