Prerequisites For Bentley Desktop Applications V8 11 07 03 • Full HD
A mix of versions from 2013 through 2022 is required. Missing or corrupt C++ runtimes cause cryptic 0xc000007b or api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll missing errors.
Tip: Install both the x86 and x64 versions of VC++ 2015-2022 even though the app is 64-bit; some helper tools rely on 32-bit libraries.
