Why Visual Studio 2015 can t run exe file ucrtbased dll

Question

I have installed the Visual Studio 2015 and created Win32 project with some code. I compiled it successfully, but I can't launch exe file, because I don't have some ucrtbased.dll...So how can I solve it?

Edit: The English equivalent message is: "The program can't start because ucrtbased.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. "

I would like to suggest additional solution to fix this issue  So  I recommend to reinstall install the latest Windows SDK  In my case it has helped me to fix the issue when using Qt with MSVC compiler to debug a program

rdtsc solution did not work for me    Firstly  I use Visual Studio 2015 Express  for which installer  modify  query does not propose any  Common Tools for Visual C   2015  option you could uncheck   Secondly  even after 2 uninstall reinstall  many hours waiting for them to complete      the problem still remains   I finally fixed the issue by reinstalling the whole Windows SDK from a standalone installer  independently from Visual C   2015 install   https   developer microsoft com fr-fr windows downloads windows-8-1-sdk or https   developer microsoft com fr-fr windows downloads windows-10-sdk  This fixed the issue for me

This problem is from VS 2015 silently failing to copy ucrtbased dll  debug  and ucrtbase dll  release  into the appropriate system folders during the installation of Visual Studio   Or you did not select  Common Tools for Visual C   2015  during installation   This is why reinstalling may help  However  reinstalling is an extreme measure    this can be fixed without a complete reinstall   First  if you don t really care about the underlying problem and just want to get this one project working quickly  then here is a fast solution  just copy ucrtbased dll from C  Program Files  x86  Windows Kits 10 bin x86 ucrt ucrtbased dll  for 32bit debug  into your application s  debug directory alongside the executable  Then it WILL be found and the error will go away  But  this will only work for this one project   A more permanent solution is to get ucrtbased dll and ucrtbase dll into the correct system folders  Now we could start copying these files into  Windows System32 and  SysWOW64  and it might fix the problem  However  this isn t the best solution  There was a reason this failed in the first place  and forcing the use of specific  dll s this way could cause problems   The best solution is to open up the control panel --  Programs and Features --  Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 --  Modify  Then uncheck and re-check  Visual C   --  Common Tools for Visual C   2015   Click Next  then and click Update  and after a few minutes  it should be working   If it still doesn t work  run the modify tool again  uncheck the  Common Tools for Visual C   2015   and apply to uninstall that component  Then run again  check it  and apply to reinstall  Make sure anti-virus is disabled  no other tasks are open  etc  and it should work  This is the best way to ensure that these files are copied exactly where they should be   Note that if the modify tool gives an error code at this point  then the problem is almost certainly specific to your system  Research the error code to find what is going wrong and hopefully  how to fix it

An easy way to fix this issue is to do the following (click on images to zoom):

Make sure to close Visual Studio, then go to your Windows Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features. Now do this:

A Visual Studio window will open up. Here go on doing this:

Select the checkbox for Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015 and install the update.

The update may takes some time (~5-10 minutes). After Visual Studio was successfully updated, reopen your project and hit Ctrl + F5. Your project should now compile and run without any problems.

I am not sure it will help but you can try this.This worked for me

Start -> Visual Studio Installer -> Repair

after this enable the Microsoft Symbols Server under

TOOLS->Options->Debugging->Symbols

This will automatically set all the issues.
