hi is it normal that a clean w7 sp1 installation include this file api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll ? on my windows 10 is present but not on my windows 7 installation should i have api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll thanks
hi but it's part of w7 or is installed and included by Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Stadio 2015 ? thanks
@mantra, I'm not sure whether or not a clean Windows 7 SP1 installation includes the file api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll. If Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is not installed, installing 'recommended' update KB3118401, Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows, may provide api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll. On a clean Windows 7 SP1 installation, with both Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable and KB3118401 not installed, api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll might not be present. But I am not sure. To be sure, others would need to do a clean Windows 7 SP1 installation without installing 'recommended' update KB3118401, or Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, to see if there is no api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll present.
@Stupendous Man maybe some software during the installation process they install visual cc++ 2015 , on my w7 i have really few softwares installed
I'm sorry, I don't know. Perhaps someone else knows, or, as I said, someone else would need to do a clean Windows 7 SP1 installation, to see what is and what isn't included. To me, a clean installation is an installation without any additional software installed. In a strict sense, a clean Windows SP1 installation would be without any of the updates. To me, a clean Windows installation is an offline installation, so that I'm sure nothing is installed in addition. As you say "on my w7 i have really few softwares installed", if you have any additional software installed, I would say it is not a truly clean installation. But that doesn't matter, as you say api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is not present on your installation. Question 1: Why is it so important to you to know whether or not api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is present on a clean Windows 7 SP1 installation? I would think, if it isn't there, then it's probably not essential, and that would be fine with me. Question 2: If you installed updates on your Windows 7 SP1 installation, did you install 'recommended' update KB3118401, Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows? If you did, or do, that update may provide api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll, if I am not mistaken.
Hi @Stupendous Man 1) no it's not so important only to know if my os is healthy 2) no i haven't installed update KB3118401 thanks ,appreciat your help
Yes, I understand. But why did you check for api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll? Why would api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll be relevant on a clean Windows 7 SP1 installation? I'm not sure, but I think api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll may not be present on a clean Windows 7 SP1 installation by default. Because of the information in the KB3118401 knowledge base article, I presume Universal C Runtime (CRT) is not in Windows 7 SP1 by default, but can be introduced with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable or with installing 'recommended' update KB3118401.
hi a program ( a freeware ) doesn't start , because the file is missing , that's all and i tought , maybe my w7 is not healthy
Ah, now I understand. I guess installing KB3118401 and/or(?) Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable would help. Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.
hi i will create an image and install KB3118401 , and test it by the way i use this freeware 3 or 4 times at year thanks!
