I have recently installed autocad 2014 (with student license). Whenever I try to start the program I get the 0xc000007b error message. (This also happens with other applications that came with the package).
A quick google search gave me possible solutions to the problem so I will list here what I tried:
- Restart the PC
- Updating windows (inc. optionals)
- Ran check disk on main drive (fixed a few errors but still no change to the problem)
- I fully uninstalled all the autodesk software (by using restore point) and deleted all the program files. Then reinstalled it but the error persists.
- Installed this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30653
But got the message: Same or higher version of .NET Framework 4.5 has already been installed on this computer.

None of that worked so I went to autodesk help:
http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2014/ENU/index.html
Then typed in the error code 0xc000007b, and at the suggestion of the first (and only) article that appeared I installed Dependency Walker. Using this I opened the autocad 2014 executable.
After much waiting and crashing the results appeared. (I would post a screen shot but I haven’t figured out how to upload a photo to my post and also you can’t see all the details anyway because of the many scroll bars).

Basically what I see it 100s of red things which can’t be good. The main error messages are :
Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

I don’t have the time or the know-how to even decipher this let alone fix the problem, which is hopefully where you come in!

My system:

Upgrades:
- Now have 8GB ram
- New GPU NVidia GT 630
I have Windows 7 home premium 64bit installed. Also I am 99.9% sure the software is compatible with the system!
Any help appreciated, please ask if you need more information.

Try the below solution

1.) Search the folder you installed the product from for a file called MSVCR100.DLL. If you find multiple copies select one with a file size of 809 KB

2.) Copy MSVCR100.DLL from the location in the install folder

Paste it into the following folders

C:\Windows\System32\
C:\Windows\Syswow64\

say yes to replacing the file

3.) Reboot your system and try launching the product again.

Since I couldn't locate the msvcr100.dll with file size 809 kb on my PC I found it on the net located here:
http://www.opendll.com/index.php?search=msvcr100.dll

Found this solution at this link:
