Have you tried installed MS Visual Studio Redist?

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Yes i tried. I've previously installed on my computer.

Have you tried both 2010 and 2007?

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29

Can you also provide a bit more detail about your current set up?

Same here :\

I tried 2010. I'm using Windows 7 32-bit.

Try installing the 2007 redis and see if that solves your issue.

I've solved my problem with Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015:

For Windows 64-bit
http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/4/1/041224F6-A7DC-486B-BD66-BCAAF74B6919/vc_redist.x64.exe

For Windows 32-bit
http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/4/1/041224F6-A7DC-486B-BD66-BCAAF74B6919/vc_redist.x86.exe

I solved the problem now. @squimer gave in the link I downloaded the file I installed that solved the problem. cmder works. Maybe you can add the solution to the Readme file. Thanks.

VS2015 is currently in RC, is it really a good idea to ask users to install pre-release versions of DLLs? I'd recommend reverting to VS2013 until VS2015 gets to RTM.

Huh, I didn't see that upgrade until now. I didn't have to upgrade my VS dist, but than again I'm running Windows 10 RC, and that probably comes packaged with that dist.

This can definitely go in the FAQ, IMO.

I had the same problem without VS 2015 installed. @squimer solution helped.

I am win7 32-bit, I met the same problem, thanks @squimer, my problem has been solved.

@MartiUK
Could you please rebuild with VS2013?

he already did, he's been testing (or so) it for a few days now.

well I get the same problem ( vs2013 )

Same here without VS2015 on windows 8.1

I solved the problem now. You need to finish windows update.
And download @squimer link.

@imsyuan What do you mean "finish" windows update? Terminate the process? My computer is up to date, I tried install the file @squimer gives on two Win8.1 computer, but never succeed.

I can confirm that @squimer solution works on windows 8.1 while having VS2013

I've solved my problem with Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 for Windows 64-bit as proposed by @squimer - running Windows 8.1

@LRPalacios Thanks, I succesfully installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 after I install Visual C++ Redistributable for 2010, 2012 and 2013.

squimer's 64 bit link worked for me on Windows 7

@squimer solution helped

I'm sure installing the runtime fixes the issue, but it breaks the portable factor of the program. Hope it's fixed soon...

I have this same problem on Windows Server 2008 and I agree with @IkerGimenez, this breaks the portability factor.

@squimer's solution (#501 (comment)) fixes it, but as mentioned: it breaks the portability.

@squimer thanks for the solution!

The "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio" fails to install on my machine, so I looked for another solution.

I noticed that the README for the master branch of this repo states that the latest release is v1.2, and has a link to the release page. However, v1.2 is currently a pre-release.

I've opted for the latest release v1.1.4.1, found here: https://github.com/bliker/cmder/releases/tag/v1.1.4.1

@sealocal's solution worked for me on W8, no extra DLL's needed.

@weiliank Link doesn't work anymore. Any alternative?

@dmxt Just downloaded with provided link, and it worked (both download and cmder)!

@dmxt Hey there ! Sorry for the late reply :) so far i only approached this link and it works for me. Will try to source and post any other links if any.

Is it just me? The VC++ Redistrib 2015 downloaders never start downloading (Firefox and Chrome)

@vexe Use internet explorer, that's how I solved that issue. Thanks Microsoft...

https://github.com/Stanzilla/cmder/releases/tag/1.2.4

@vexe it's a error on the MS site, they mix HTTPS and HTTP. Try to browse the site via http when downloading.

Thanks a lot @Stanzilla for your fork, totally working now with no additional download and so on, nice job! 👍
Small off topic, if I pin on taskbar on win 8.1 when I click another icon is created next to it, anyone else?

Same issue on Win7 32b.
Unable to install VS C++ Redist 2015.
I have noticed that Win 7 Service Pack 1 is missing on my PC.

@squimer thanks for the solution......Excellent

@UberGruber I think I had a similar thing. Have you looked at the 'Task Bar' menu under 'Main' in the settings? You might have the "show all consoles" button clicked or something

After tried to install the VC++ 2015 and failed, thanks to @sealocal, his solution is working.

Just installed C++ Redist and that has copied the reuqired dll so cmder is loading now, thanks to clues above.

@DanielGGordon Thank you for your input, unfortunately the option you mention are unchecked, also this issue happens only in win 8.1, not in my other machine with Win 7.

I have no problems when running 1.2.3 (https://github.com/Stanzilla/cmder/releases/tag/1.2.4) tag says 1.2.4 but is actually 1.2.3

I'm in x86 machine, I installed Visual C++ Redist 2013 and 2015 both x86 version but I that message still appear.
Do I have to install the x64 version too?

stackoverflow says that you cannot install the VC Redist package unless you ALSO have windows update KB2999226 installed:

1 week in search...

can anybody help me with this httpd.exe (Entry Point not found) of api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll?
i have uninstalled and installed visual 2015 but i always got the same error.

thanks in advance

I have found a way to fix "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing" error showing up in many games (and unability to install "microsoft visual C++ 2015" (or 2017) giving 0x********* unspecified error in windows without service pack installed). Install this program

https://code.visualstudio.com/

and copy all dll files from "C:\Users\Computername\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code" into game directory overwriting whats there (remember to make backup of all dll files before)

After 2 days of digging google, this link solved my issue on Win 7 SP1 :
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows

You can fix the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll error by updating your windows or by repairing VISUAL C++ REDISTRIBUTABLE FOR VISUAL STUDIO 2015.
