Fix for 0xc000007b window 7. I found a fix guys.

[Greengiant0]

I have been looking for a fix for 3 days finally i found it by accident.

First http://www.sereby.org/site/aio go here and downlaod All In One Run time.
This software downloads everything you are missing.

Second http://download.cnet.com/Dependency-Walker-64-Bit/3000-2086_4-75785868.html
download Dependency Walker 64bit from here.
go to your Steam/steamapps/common/strider/StriderX64_r.exe open this in dependency walker.
* you will see this in the results http://i.imgur.com/zcSVIlh.jpg . Mine is all fixed so my cpu section all of the dll fiels are x64.
* Mine i had a xinput1_3.dll x86 32bit version. This made my game not load and give me the
0xc000007b error pop up.

Third http://www.dll-files.com/ go and search for your .dll file. Important find and download the x64 the 64bit version of the file.

Last go to c:/windows/system32 &c:/windows/syswow64 Copy your downloaded .dll 64bit file in both folders. Overwrite both existing folder files.

Enjoy your game. I had the solution right in front of me but nobody told me how to use the dependency walker.
Just when you load up any game.exe in denpendency walker. A red color letter will be the error.
Just find any red color x86 and replace it with the x64 bit.

Im sorry if i hurried in my post im just glad my game works for now i have to get back in to my fantastic game.

You can just highlight system32 folder and paste them there, no need to go deeper.

wait i dont know what you are saying. do you mean i over explained it? or what?
if so can you write down a simple version to this because it will help the others out.

Good to know of a fix, although I see this as more of a hack than a fix. Either Strider is making inappropriate calls, or Microsoft is not properly including the necessary files with their updates. I have a perfectly functional Win 7 home premium that runs everything else just fine.

In looking elsewhere into this, it would appear that these are Windows 8 DLLs being referenced?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20323394/how-to-reference-win-8-dlls-on-a-win-7-machine

Is there a reason my Win 7 64 bit machine would be expected to have Windows 8 DLLs installed? Incidentally, IEShims.DLL exists in my C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer folder, but does not appear to be a registered DLL. When I copy it into the C:\Windows\System32 folder, the Depends stops reporting it as missing. Is this just a case of not knowing where to look for this file on the appropriate Operating System? (Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit in my case).

I'm pretty sure he's saying you don't need to go into the SysWOW64 folder. Even on 64-bit versions of Windows, I am pretty sure most applications look for the DLLs in System32 which is also where they should get registered.

I could kiss you right now. But unfortunately I'm not physically near you, so except my humble thanks as a reward. THis needs to be stickied.

I've managed to paste all but one of the required .dll files into System32 and SYSwow, but it won't allow me to paste one particular file (api-ms-win-core-errorhandling-l1-1-0) as I don't 'have permission'. I've tried to change permissions to get around this but I'm then told that I don't have permission to change permission on that folder! Any advice as to what I can do? Thanks for the help so far!

[pyradius]

Could try opening an Admin level command prompt via Start-->Run-->type in CMD-->Right-click-->Run as Admin. Type:

cd\Windows\System32 <Enter>
copy "path to dll\name.dll" <Enter>

Thanks! Unfortunately this fix doesn't seem to work for me. Have I misunderstood what to do? I've run Dependency Walker and downloaded all of the .dll files highlighted in red. I've then copied them to the relevant folders (I managed to get around the permissions problem) but the game still doesn't work.

Edit: ok, this seems a little silly to me but I've just run Dependency Walker again and now there seem to be other .dlls that are missing (that were not flagged up the first time I ran it).

[pyradius]

Not the original poster, but it would appear that the "File not found" ones are perhaps not the issue and might not be showstoppers, but the DLLs that shows as "x86" specifically and not "x64" are the real culprits.

In my case, it states I have MSVCR100.DLL as x86, all others show correctly as x64. Going to try and find a trusted copy of the above DLL and see if it fixes for me.

[CableTongue]

Ah, I see now. Thanks for your help.

Edit: I should mention that you might find that the .dll download website linked to in the original post might not always have the 64bit version. Any recommendations for other download sites (I'll have a look too)?

[pyradius]

Feel like I'm going a bit in circles here. The C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Strider\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010\vcredist_x64.exe is apparently what is supposed to update these files, including a 64-bit MSVCR100.DLL. Already tried doing a Repair then Remove / Reinstall which did not help. Going to see if unregistering the DLL completely then running the above .EXE might put the 64-bit versio in.

Edit: So basically had to delete the file from the System32 folder, then run the VC package and it put an older, slightly larger version of MSVCR100.DLL into my System32 folder. That DLL no longer shows up in the Dependency Walker, but program still won't launch so perhaps the fix is a combination of both file not found and x86 files.

[CableTongue]

Ok, I think I'll wait until the developers bring out a patch as this is starting to get too complicated for me (my knowledge of Windows is amateur to say the least!). Thanks for your work finding the fix and your help with my my particular issues!

[pyradius]

Yeah, I'm not really willing to dump a bunch of Windows 8 files into my Windows 7 system.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh802935(v=vs.85).aspx

I can respect if for some reason I had an x86 instead of x64 DLL but that no longer appears to be the case. It seems like Strider is requiring files that are normally only a part of Windows 8.

Just for the sake of showing what my Depends.exe looks like:

I meant you don't have to open the system32 folder, just hightlight it and ctrl-v the files into the folder.
I'm old and not that great at all of this, but I managed it, it's easy. Download zip file, open in winRAR, highlight .dll files, ctrl-c. Goto the system32 folder highlight it and paste.
