With the June 2016 release of Adobe® Creative Cloud® the applications have migrated to using Visual C++® 2015 runtimes from Microsoft®.
This change has been made to ensure that the Creative Cloud software is using runtimes that Microsoft is currently supporting. The older versions previously in use are no longer supported by Microsoft which requires our software to be updated.
With this migration, our latest version of Creative Cloud will require that the VC 2015 runtimes have been installed on the system using the software in order to run correctly.
As a result, some Microsoft updates will be required for older operating systems including:
- Windows 7
- Windows 8.1
Download and install the following update from Microsoft.

Hi Ron, To help you suggest more steps to resolve the issue, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following question: Have you made any recent hardware or software changes to your computer prior to the issue?
Gamestop website not working without. This time, I can't get past the final page of 'Payment Options'. I canceled the order and put the items back in the shopping cart and filled out my shipping and billing information again. The email recommended that I take it up with my bank who told me there was no lock on my account.Following Gamestop's instructions, I tried updating my credit card information on the order page. After updating the information and submitting the order again, I got an email 5 minutes later telling me the order couldn't go through again.Gamestop's final recommendation was cancelling the order and trying again.

You might ask, why would I want to do that…ever? Well, it may become more clear in my next post, so bear with me.
It turns out I wasn’t able to find a download location for the VC 7.1 runtime. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough, whatever. What I did find was a DST update for the Visual C++ .NET 2003 Service Pack 1 C Runtime. It turns out that they kind of…include the whole runtime in there. Usually all you need is msvcr71.dll. Some websites will tell you to download it from some shady website…I wasn’t keen on that.
So you can start by downloading the DST update from here. Save that .exe to a local folder.
When you run it, you’ll be unhappy to learn that it won’t actually install the runtime since it will expect you to have the runtime already installed, because after all this is just an update to the runtime. Ok, fine, maybe I can work around the installer being a smartass. From a command line, run
VS7.1sp1-KB9322981102-X86-Enu.exe /Xp:VS71
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Install
This will extract the auto-extractable .exe into a subfolder called VS71. Actually, all this did is create a .msp file in the VS71 folder. “Dude, you said you were going to get me msvcr71.dll, where is it already!?”. Dude, chill, I’m getting there.
For the next step you will need to cause the .msp file to explode. Apparently it’s some sort of MSI package, I don’t know. I found this utility which is supposed to explode msp packages:
msix M9322981102.msp /out msp
That will give you a whole bunch of files with weird names, among which a 13 have “msvcr” in their name:

I had no idea whether these files were the actual DLLs or not, so I looked at them in notepad and saw the familiar MZ header. So at least I know they are PE-header files. So I just picked the one highlighted and copied/renamed it to msvcr71.dll next to the app that required it. It’s probably better, in hindsight, to copy the _10_ version.
Microsoft Visual C Runtime 7. 10
Anyway, that’s how you get msvcr71.dll “installed” on Windows 7.
