I have bought Far Cry 3 a few days ago and when I am trying to install it, it says 'Installing Direct X 1/1@ in the left bottom side and after a few seconds I get an Application error saying 'The application was unable to start correctly
(0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.' I have tried several methods, re-installing some drivers, adding some files to my system32 and SysWOW64 and did not work any of them. Please help, thank you for your understanding.
Hey Pablito437,
Thanks for reaching out to us, welcome to forums and sincere apologies about the delay in getting back to you!
If you've mixed 32 and 64-bit files in your PC system folder, this is exactly what will cause the error to occur on launch. In order to rectify this, I would suggest to consider removing those files from where you've placed them (msvcp100.dll, msvcr100.dll and xinput1_3.dll) and then using System File Checker tool to repair your system files.
Should issue still persist after completing this, let us know!
