I recently tried installing BYOND on a new PC I got but after installing it and trying to open BYOND I get error 0xc000007b and am unable to launch it. I saw others have this problem and tried a lot of things.
This one in particular was the most helpful

I tried doing everything stated in the reply of the post and after the second step when trying to open BYOND it did not give error 0xc000007b but instead it gave some errors about missing dll files. I was super happy that SOME progress was there, and for some reason I decided to reinstall BYOND, because maybe that will do something, but after doing that it gave error 0xc000007b again and I became mad and gave up.
Is there any solution, like maybe the same thing from the other post mentioned before but with up-to-date files and all that, or is there something different that I could try. Also the files from the all-in-one runtimes are outdated so I downloaded the remaining C++ files (at least I think I downloaded the correct remaining files) from the microsoft website, maybe that has something to do with it. I also don't really know much about computers so I might ask a lot of dumb questions.
I am having the same problem and I followed the same forum post a bit. And it's probably the latest post too.
After dropping the d3dx9_43.dll I got byond.exe to open up, but now it appears that dreamseeker is not starting. I should have everything right. I just reinstalled windows. It is quite vexing this thing in particular does not work. | |
Ah, I think I solved it by deleting every d3dx9_43.dll on my computer (I used the program "Everything" for this) and THEN reinstalling directx files using the latest installer from Microsoft.

If you didn't install those runtimes, but installed others that were supposedly newer, go back to the link on the Downloads page and install that one.
