Wine failed to load vcruntime140.dll even though it exists

Post by ryu_ketsueki »

I may have found some form of regression. I'm trying to run The Sims 4 like I used before. After Wine updated, it is giving the following error:

Code: Select all

00fc:err:module:import_dll Library VCRUNTIME140.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Games\\The Sims 4\\Game\\Bin\\TS4_x64.exe") not found
00fc:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"C:\\Games\\The Sims 4\\Game\\Bin\\TS4_x64.exe" failed, status c0000135
Naturally, I tried to install it, unaware that the DLL is already there. I ran winetricks to install vcrun2015. This is the error I received:

Code: Select all

0100:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x42a3a7
This is the second time I reset this prefix, being generated from scratch. After I looked on the directory, the built-in DLL exists. winecfg confirms that by showing that it is on native then built-in load order. But the importing still fails for some reason
