Most often, the problem with the file lies precisely in the program installer, which then requires it, or with failures during installation. What can help:
- Re-loading the installation file is required with a stable Internet connection.
- Finding another installer - If you download a pirated, ported or in any way modified game, there is a chance that the build author missed / damaged msvbvm50.dll or allowed errors in the code, because of which the program refuses to see this DLL. If possible, replace the application to another, preferably licensed.
- If there is an active antivirus and / or firewall on the computer (the built-in in the system is also counted) to check their quarantine. Perhaps something from them by mistake blocked this file. If msvbvm50.dll managed to detect there, we recommend to check it out for malicious content to other protective software or online service (we have a separate article on such sites below). If the harmless file, it remains to be moved to one of the system folders (see method 1 of this material). Do not forget to add a file to exception so that in the future the antivirus software does not work on it when scanning the entire system.
