I bought a new PC to run Windows 10 and then subscribed to CC. Imagine my disappointment when after installing Dreamweaver CC I was unable to run this due to a missing dll file.
So far Acrobat and Premiere Pro are working fine.
Is there a simple solution to this problem.
That is actually a Microsoft C++ error (an OS problem) that you're being alerted to. It will end up being an issue for any program you install that was built with MS Visual Studio.
Reinstalling the C++ Redistributable usually fixes the issue.
Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 from Official Microsoft Download Center

How about mentioning WHICH file is missing?
re-install C runtime may help https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=48145

My apologies to the forum, the missing file is mfc120du.dll and it takes 3 (three) clicks of the error message before that message cancels itself. I have, as suggested by the APP, uninstalled and re-installed Dreamweaver.

TheMusicShed - your not the only one. I'm getting the same error. What's going on Adobe?

This guy has the cure. Just substitute the correct dll.

The file that is missing is mfc120du.dl not the one mentioned by DanaVideo.

If you attempted to load Update3 from the link above and it still doesn't work, it may also be worthwhile to try this...
1. Do a search for CMD
2. Right click the Command Prompt icon and choose Run As Administrator
3. In the prompt, type (make sure the space is there between sfc and /)
sfc /scannow
4. Hit Enter
5. When it's done, restart the computer and try DW again.

Downloading Visual C++ didn't fix the problem as the system reported that a newer version of the software was running.

I had an old link, this is the newest version of the C++ Redistributable from Microsoft according to their site...

Hi, Jon,
Ran the Upload3 from your new link, then installed DW again. Still no joy. Ran sfc as administrator and was given an error message that windows couldn't start the repair service.
Now going to chat/speak with Adobe NZ if I can get through.

Have just had an exceptional and excellent "chat" with Customer Care Naveen and the issue is resolved. It appeared that the dll file was missing from the System 32 folder. Full marks to Adobe Customer Care.

Did this require a reboot? I get a new error if I just paste it in there. This is for mfc140u.dll. Cannot reinstall, as you indicated, a "newer" version on system, Have uninstalled, reinstalled (3x) both Dreamweaver and CC. Only having this issue with Dreamweaver. Have been on hold for customer support for a long time, so will probably give up and try again tomorrow. Very disappointed. This is the first time I've had an issue with an Adobe product, but now it is affecting my work, and has taken the bulk of my day to research, only to find all "fixes" not resolving, as you found.

Thanks

That did not help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still getting the missing mfc140u.dll error when I try to open DW.

This fixed it for me ...

I downloaded the above and installed the first file. After that DW opened without issue.
