Hi there, was wondering if anyone has encountered this error upon launch up of Vegas Pro 22. The error states "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mfc140u.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f." I have tried everything between cleaning and checking for corrupt files, checking drivers to verify they are up to date, checking disk drivers and even uninstalling and re installing program. Nothing has worked. Need help.

Thanks.

The error message suggests that you have an issue with your Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. Either missing, corrupt, or incompatible. Have you tried sfc /scannow or the various DISM commands?

Or a search? https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/installation-error-2147163964--148390/#ca933415
