Missing Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 x86

Good morning everyone.
suddenly my compiled project no longer works on my Windows 11 PC.
I get this error "This application cannot continue because a required component named Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 x86 is missing on this computer.
The component was already installed, in fact the program always worked until yesterday.
However I downloaded from the given link but to no avail.
I also tried downloading other versions from Microsoft but I didn’t get any changes.
The same program on a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine continues to work even compiled now.
What could have happened?

The component is installed in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
If I uninstall the 64 bit version the result is the same.

error1

If I uninstall everything I get this error:

Clipboard_11-25-2024_02

on a newly installed Win 11 virtual machine everything works with the same component installed.
What can I look at to resolve?

Hi GianBarbera, I had the same issue last week on thursday. could you solve it? I checked on “Programs and Features” and in the register of window (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\x86) and it showed installed. Also I paste in my app folder the required dll and nothing. Also I tried to reinstall the missing C++ redistribution and nothing. Let me know if you find a solution. Thanks

The issue is due to the fact that the virtual PHPXX.DLL cannot be loaded as expected. This is usually related to the missing VC++ runtime but it appears a recent Windows 11 update could have broken something.
Have you installed a recent Windows update?
And are you running VMWare Workstation?

Hi, this happened in a client’s computer. The app was running without any issues until last thursday. I’ve been reading in some forums that the last update of windows 11 created problem with this component, but I’m not so sure. I don’t know if Microsoft will release a patch or fix, but it seems to be a windows problem. Any test we can do (maybe error log in php) to verify it?

Could you please give us the exact Windows 11 build you have ?
Because we cannot reproduce the issue here, and with latest WIndows 11 builds available.

On my system the latest updates are KB5046740 and KB5048162 on November 22.

The Windows 11 system build is 26100.2454

Just tested on a Windows 11 build 26100.2454 and with the same updates as you. And it works as expected. We had to uninstall and reinstall VC++ runtime though. Have you tried this too?

Yes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled various versions in addition to the latest one available.
Restarted the PC.
In the end I even uninstalled and cleaned the registry with Wise Registry Cleaner before reinstalling.

Are you also running another PHP distribution or WAMP package?

I had xampp for windows installed.
I have now uninstalled it.
Cleaned the registry with Wise Registry Cleaner.
Restarted pc.
Reinstalled VC_redist.x86 2015-2022 14.42.34443 but no difference.
Always the same error.

Forgot to ask you: which exact version of ExeOutput are you running?

I’m using version 2024.0

Please update to ExeOutput 2024.1.

Tested on ExeOutput version: 2024.1.2 - Win 11 // Build: 26100.2454

Currently the only way to make the applications work is to delete the latest Windows 11 update KB5046740

I confirm that it also works for version 2024.0.
Once the update was removed, operation resumed normally.

I confirm that the anomaly is also present in other versions of exeoutput, even in obsolete and not recent versions.

They only work by deleting the windows update.

We are working on this issue, we finally were able to reproduce it. It is due to a new Preview update Microsoft released some days ago for Windows 11 24H2 users:
KB5046740

The provider of the faulty component we are using has been advised too and they are working on the issue too.

Hopefully, we’ll get a fix very soon. The sole workaround currently confirmed by users is to roll back Windows to remove that specific update.
Since it is a Preview update, it is also possible that Microsoft may change it too.

Thank you for your patience.

Dear GDGSupport, may I know approximately how long we can expect to wait for the bug fix for the issue mentioned above?

We identified the problem and we’ll provide a new update XLS Padlock 2024.3 to solve it as soon as possible.
