Unable to open Create V777

Cannot open Design V7

I just downloaded Carbide Create V7, when I attempt to open it, I get the following error message: ENTRYPOINT NOT FOUND The procedure Entry point SetThreadDescription could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\CarbideCreateV7\carbidecreate.exe I am running on a Windows 8.1 / 8.00 GB / 64 Bit Operating system I do see the Carbidecreate.exe file there. Any ideas, suggestions to get this to run??

I am having he same error as his post but I am on Windows 10 v1607 with 16 GB of RAM. I have uninstall, reinstalled(both multiple times). I have also tried a plethora of other solutions for this error type to no avail.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Try checking for updates, shutting down, then restarting, then make a new Admin user and install the DLLs by hand:

For MSVCP140.dll missing see: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
For more recent versions try: Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn — note that it may be necessary to install both x86 and 64-bit versions.

then try installing and running.

In Win 10 you can right click on the install icon and install for all users. Sometimes it is a permission problem. In Win 11 they changed when you right click the installer the option is to run as administrator.

Is there a specific reason it would need to be installed by a new Admin user?

I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual C++ and my laptop has MSVCP140.dll this did not work

I even wiped my laptop to ensure there were no conflicts with other programs potentially and still the issue persists(all windows updates are installed).
