how to find the vcruntime140.dll in flutter build windows?

Question

I am new to Flutter, I've tried to build a Windows application right now. But in Flutter docs, they said that I have to put these files in my build folder. Where I can find those files so I can build my Flutter to a .exe program?

This showed an error while I transfer it folder to my friend's computer.

Answer 1

To resolve the issue of missing DLL files (msvcp140.dll, vcruntime140.dll, vcruntime140_1.dll), here is how to do it:

1. Locating the missing files:
   • Scenario 1 64-bit PC with 64-bit Flutter Build or 32-bit PC with 32-bit Flutter Build: Open C:\Windows\System32.
   • Scenario 2 64-bit PC with 32-bit Flutter Build: Open C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
2. Locate the following files: msvcp140.dll, vcruntime140.dll, vcruntime140_1.dll.
3. Copy these files and paste them into build/windows/runner/Release directory in your Flutter project.

The lack of these DLLs can be fixed by installing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributable". Probably the application that is showing this error depends on it installed.

Download from the links below. I suggest you install both the x86 and x64 versions. x86: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe x64: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
