I kepp getting the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" whenever I try to start PSO:BB on my laptop with Soly's PSOBB Addons package. I've done this many times on my two desktops, but it just refuses to work on my laptop.

First I thought the problem was Windows 11 so I rolled back to Windows 10 to no avail. After that I wiped the computer and did a fresh installation, also this without result. Game starts as it should without dinput8.dll.

Here's what I've done so far to try fix it:
  • Run in Compatiblity Mode (Windows XP, SP2) and Administrator
  • Copy msvcp140.dll and vcruntime140.dll to EphineaPSO folder (which removes those errors)
  • Reinstall Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
  • Manually activate .NET Framework 3.5 (.Net 2.0 and 3.0)
  • Install DirectX End-User Runtimes
Any ideas?
 
Im far from most knowledgeable, but googling the issue it relates to missing C++ distributables which you can get from
I had tried reinstalling & repairing that quite a few times but the 64-bit version (x64). Now that you linked it I thought I'd try the 32-bit version (x86) and it worked! :D Feeling really stupid now – and happy about PSO:BB on the go!
