    R15.3 Installer won't start for a re-install

    Hi,

    I have just upgraded to a new laptop and I am trying to install my single license version. Do I need to uninstall from my old laptop first as the installs it brings up the following error message.

    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

    Thanks for your advice

    What OS is running on the new laptop?

    What is the name and filesize (kb) of the installation file?

    Hi,

    Thanks for responding. I'm running Windows 7.1, the file name is dMC-R15.3-Ref-Registered and the file size is 26,954KB. I was running on XP and downloaded the re-install from my email link from the original purchase

    All other programs are working OK on the laptop?

    You have installed all the latest critical Windows Updates?

    A quick google search on this error: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
    implies a problem with Windows and/or the Microsoft .NET Framework.

    Maybe, someone else has some more informed ideas on this error than me.

    Did you do a clean Windows 7 install? If so, maybe it's a little "too" clean, i.e., you may still have some updates and key components to install. Run Windows Update 2-3 times (with restarts) to make sure Windows-sourced drivers are up to date, and things like .NET framework and C++ Redistributable get properly installed. (Standalone installers for those components are also available: .Net Framework 4.5, and Visual C++)

    Thanks for your advice BrodyBoy and mville. Both are/were installed (.Net Framework and Visual C++). I have shutdown and rebooted 3 times but the same error message appears..

    Maybe installing Windows 10 will solve, what do you think?

    Do you only get the error message running dMC-R15.3-Ref-Registered.exe, all other programs are running OK?

    Are you running Windows 7.1 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get a handle on what might be happening.

    Have you installed any other Illustrate software?

    How much unused disk space is there on the System drive?

    No.

    I am running a DAW, various VST plugins, k-lite codec pack, adobe reader XI and a TOM TOM GPS.... That's it

    Try right-clicking on the dMC-R15.3-Ref-Registered.exe and Run as Administrator. Any error?

    Have you run the System File Checker tool and Windows 7 Disk Check (chkdsk) on the laptop?
