Issue:

While trying to start nTop after installation, I saw the error message: “The code execution cannot proceed because VDCOMP140.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.”

Applies to:

  • nTop
  • Windows 10

Cause:

This Windows error message generally occurs due to missing or corrupt Visual C++ redistributable files.

Solution:

Get the latest versions of Microsoft Visual C++.
  1. Visit the Microsoft support site.
  2. Browse the Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019 sections.
  3. Download x64: vc_redist.x64.exe
  4. Double-click to run the program to install the files.
