If you are launching Power Path software or finishing installation process, an error dialog Program.exe pops up like this (with message: The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll or MSVCCP140_ATOMIC_WAIT.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.): 

or

you don't have the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package already installed on your computer, which is required for CAD/BIM software solutions.


Please follow these steps to solve issue:


Step 1: 


Download Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 from Microsoft Site and install. 

You need to download this one x64 https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe.

Step 2.1:  


Alternatively, If the above steps fail try following:

  1. Try to uninstall then reinstall the specific software which is producing the error upon launch. Many software installers contain a specific version of Visual C++ they depend on and reinstalling it may fix the launch issues.
  2. If the reinstall doesn't work, try repairing each Microsoft Visual C++ version through the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features menu. 
    1. In Windows, open Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    2. Double-click on the earliest desired version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 20xx Redistributable (x64) entry and choose Repair.
    3. Then, continue repairing additional VC++ installs as desired (from older to newer), reboot the PC and test the software again.
