Question asked on Mar 30, 2018

I reinstalled Windows-10x64 but was not allowed to do a "save files" because I was booting from a Windows-10.iso.  After restoring (not reinstalling) Windows Live Mail, I get an error message "The code execution cannot proceed because MSCVR.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the program may fix the problem."  But I cannot do that since Microsoft won't allow that download anymore.

  • However, it doesn't appear that MSVCR.dll was ever on my system (according to my VHD backup) and WLM ran just fine.
  • Why does WLM need it today when it didn't need it yesterday. please?
