# Install Runtimes

*Visual C++ Runtimes are system files that many loaders and games depend on. If they are missing or outdated, products may fail to inject, crash on launch, or not open at all.*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Install these if you see errors like:**

* `VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found`
* `MSVCP140.dll is missing`
* `The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect`
* Loader closes instantly or never opens
  {% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Download the Package

1. Click the download button above to open the MEGA folder.
2. Click **“Download”** and wait for the download to complete.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Extract the Files

1. Open your **Downloads** folder.
2. Locate the downloaded `.zip` file (e.g., *Visual-C-Runtimes-All-in-One*).
3. Right-click the file → click **“Extract All”** → then press **“Extract.”**
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Run the Installer

1. Open the extracted folder.
2. Find the file named **`install_all.bat`**
3. Right-click it → select **“Run as administrator”**

➡️ This will automatically install all required Visual C++ runtimes in one go.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Wait for Installation to Complete

* A command prompt window will appear.
* The installer will:
  * Install all versions (2005 → 2022)
  * Install both **x86 (32-bit)** and **x64 (64-bit)** versions
* This may take a few minutes — do not close the window until it finishes.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Restart Your PC

* Once finished, restart your system so all changes take effect.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
