Hi guys this is Mr. Fixer. Today, I will show you how to fix "The
application was unable to start correctly" error. This error can occur in any game or application. In order to solve this error for sure, it is
necessary to know the cause of the problem. But before moving on to the definitive
solution, check if the issue is resolved by following a few check, install and
repair steps that might work for you. First, check for Windows updates. Go to Windows Update by typing
"Update" in the Start Menu. Click Check for Updates, and if there is a new
update wait for it to download and install. Then go to the Start Menu again and type "CMD". Right-click Command Prompt and
click Run as an Administrator Copy and paste the Commands
in order and press Enter. You can find the commands in the description. Wait for the PC to be scanned and
repaired if there is a problem. There was a problem with my PC too. It says it fixed the problem and
show the location of the report file. Then download the recommended
version of .NET Framework from Microsoft site if you don't have it installed. Run setup and install.
I already have it installed, if you don't have it installed click Continue. Again go to Start Menu and open Control Panel. Select "Programs and Features" and
click "Turn Windows Features On or Off". Tick all the files starting with
.NET Framework and click OK. If it is unchecked it will do a short
install the first time you tick it. Next, download Visual C++ 2015-2022
package from Microsoft site. Even if your system is 64-bit,
download both x64 and x86 versions. Run and install the setups. If it's
already installed click Repair. After these steps, you can reach
the corrupted or missing files and solve your problem without any further effort. But if you still get the same
error, it means that probably there is a 32-bit DLL file in the 64-bit folder, or a 64-bit DLL file in the
32-bit folder of your windows. Before solving, I will show what caused the error. Do not follow the steps I will show until the solution part. I show these parts
only to explain why the error occurs. As an example, let's open the Epic Games Launcher, the app that many people are
having this problem with. Launcher is running, there doesn't
seem to be an error for me. Now, let's replace one of the DLL
files required for launcher to work. I open the Windows folder from the drive, where
Windows is installed, which is C drive for me. Open the System 32 folder. I find Xinput1_3.dll files and back
them up to the desktop just in case. Then I delete the file (Xinput1_3.dll 32-bit version)
from the System 32 folder. Then I copy the same DLL (Xinput1_3.dll 64-bit version)
in the 64-bit folder. and open the System 32 folder and paste the
64-bit DLL (Xinput1_3 64-bit version) there. Now, let's try running the Epic Games Launcher. And we got "The application was
unable to start correctly" error. So how do you fix this error? First of all, you need to find out which
DLL file you are getting the error from. For this, download Microsoft's
Process Monitor application and follow the steps I will show
next to solve your own error. You can find the link in the description. Create a folder and move
the RAR file to the folder. Right-click and extract the files.
For you, it will show as Extract Here. Then run Procmon. First, click File and select
Capture Events Disabled to turn off the reporting process. Then click clear to delete all reports. Click on filter, and Select Process name. Type the name of the EXE file of the
application you see in the error message. And click Add. Then click Apply and OK. Now click File again and click Capture
Events to start the reporting process. Run the application you're getting the error on.
And the applications report is listed. Close Capture Events again. Let's try to find the faulty DLL file by examining
the Name Not Found in the results section. To do this, right-click any Name
Not Found and select Highlight. Expand the Path section a bit and examine
the DLL files in the colored lines. Every DLL file you see does
not mean it is corrupt. Notice the DLL file you've seen
here more than a few times. For me, it's the Xinput1_3.dll. There are also different DLL files, but we can assume that the error is due
to Xinput1_3.dll as there are too many. So, how do we find this
file in the windows folder? When you examine the colored lines, you can see the different locations
of the file in the past section. We need to look for files located
in System 32 or SysWOW64. However, you may still not see
it clearly in the past section. For this, right-click on the DLL file that
we assume is corrupt, and select Properties. Open the Process Section.
Next to Architecture, it says 64-bit. The reason you got the error was that
the 64-bit file was in the 32-bit folder, or the 32-bit file was in the 64-bit folder. Here, since we see that the Architecture
of the corrupt file is 64-bit, we understand that the location of
this file is the System 32 folder. We need to go to the drive
where Windows is installed. Then open the Windows folder. Find
and open the system 32 folder. Then find the DLL file that you
determined to be faulty and Delete it. Now, we need the correct version
of the DLL that we deleted. Let's see which package is needed for me. You can find which DLL file is in which package
in the description section of the video. Open the search box with Ctrl+F. And
type the DLL name, and click find next. I saw that the DLL file I need to download
is in a DirectX End-User Runtimes Package. Click the link and download the package. This is the offline
installation package of DirectX. So first, I extract the files to
a folder I created on the desktop. Then I run DXSetup and install it.
This installation process does not corrupt other files on your PC
and completes the missing ones. I actually backed up the correct DLL
to the desktop. But I'm fixing the issue with Setup (Package),
so you can see if it works. The installation is finished. Let's check if the correct version of the DLL
file that we deleted in System 32 is loaded. DLL file is loaded, now let's try
to open Epic Games Launcher again. And as you can see, if you delete the
wrongly copied DLL file and install the package with the correct file,
your problem will be solved as well. But do not search and download these DLL
files on other sites, or do not copy it to the folder of the application where you
got the error as suggested by some sources. Even if these solutions work for the
program you're getting the error for, you may still get the same error in
different programs or games in the future. The most effective and safe way is to get
the missing files by installing the necessary Microsoft Packages. You can find the relevant
Microsoft links in the description section. For Visual C++, you can find the package
between 2015 and 2022 by scrolling down. Also, even if your system is 64-bit download both x64 and x86 versions of whatever
package you want to download. If the package you downloaded is already
installed, select the Repair option. You can also access Older Packages
from the same page by scrolling down. That's all. Don't forget to like if this video helped you. If the issue is still not be
