New PB user here. Trying to run my first simple program on my windows 10 PC and am getting this dialog message on start up:

"MSVCP140.dll is valid, but is for machine type other than current machine."

How do I fix this?

Thank you...

Which PB version do you use (x86, x64) ? Does the IDE launch ?

What is your first simple program?

I was just using the form builder and bringing up a blank window form.

Yes, the IDE launches fine. x64 Windows 10.

It looks like this is really a FAsm.exe 'machine type' mis-match error. Is there some place where I can change my machine type for FAsm.exe?

May be an antivirus issue. Why do you think it could be fasm ?

I'm re-reading the dialog error again (below) and it's not FAsm.exe. It's a machine type mis-match within the 140.dll file. So does that mean the 140.dll file that I have for my windows 10 is a 32 bit version but I'm using a 64 bit windows 10 version?

(I turned off my anti-virus and it made no difference).

Hum, FASM doesn't depends of MVCP140.dll but lld-link does. I have compiled another version of lld-link for PureBasic x64 without these dependencies dans also much smaller, could you give it a try ? (you need to replace it in the PureBasic\Compilers\ dir)

I copied that file into PureBasic/Compilers folder and ran one of the example programs and got the same error dialog

Doesn't that dialog message mean I have the wrong 140.dll file for my 64bit CPU?

We ship the correct version with the PB package, could you upload your DLL somewhere to see if it's the x86 version?

So the .dll should be the x86 version?

Where do I upload the file to and how do I check if its x86?

I checked the 140.dll file in the PureBasic\compilers folder and it's a 64 bit file.

I tested the new lld-link and followed it up with procmon.
It does the job and looks very good
Really Much lighter (30 vs 84 Mb) and without the dependencies to msvcp140.dll, vcruntime140.dll, vcruntime140_1.dll

With this new version,I had no problems before with msvcp140.dll, but there shouldn't be any now, msvcp140.dll is no longer used at all.
The 3 dlls in the Compilers folder can be deleted (saved)
