How to Fix the ‘msvcp140_1.dll Was Not Found’ Error When Installing D5 Render?

If you’ve tried installing D5 Render and encountered an error stating “msvcp140_1.dll was not found”, don’t worry – this is one of the most common Windows system errors for 3D artists and renderers. The issue doesn’t come from D5 itself, but from a missing or outdated Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package that D5 Render depends on. Let’s break down with iRender what this error means and how to fix it quickly so you can get back to rendering your scenes.

D5 Render, like most modern 3D and rendering software (such as Lumion, Unreal Engine, or Blender), relies on Microsoft’s Visual C++ runtime libraries to run properly.

The file msvcp140_1.dll is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015–2022. If this file is missing, corrupted, or outdated, Windows can’t run programs that depend on it, which triggers the “DLL not found” error.

Here are the most common reasons behind it:

• Visual C++ Redistributable is not installed
  You may not have the required C++ runtime libraries on your system yet.
  
• Corrupted system files
  A damaged DLL or incomplete Windows update can cause the error.
  
• 64-bit vs 32-bit mismatch
  Installing only one version (x64 or x86) while D5 Render needs both can lead to missing dependencies.
  
• Third-party cleaners or antivirus removal
  Sometimes, aggressive cleanup tools or antivirus programs mistakenly delete shared system files, such as DLLs.

1. Download the Visual C++ Redistributable:

   • Go to the Microsoft download page for the latest supported Visual C++ Redistributables. 
   • Download both the x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) versions of the package for the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable. 

2. Install the packages:

   • Run the downloaded installers.
   • Follow the on-screen prompts to install both versions. 

3. Restart your computer:

   • After the installation is complete, restart your PC to ensure the changes are applied. 

4. Retry D5 Render installation:

   • Once your computer has restarted, try reinstalling D5 Render again.

The “msvcp140_1.dll was not found” error may stop your D5 Render installation, but it’s usually an easy fix once you reinstall the correct Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages. After following the steps above, your system should be ready to launch D5 Render smoothly and handle real-time rendering tasks without issues.
