I download Youtube-DL through NadekoBot Updater, It tells me I get this error: http://prntscr.com/h6l5fd
I've followed the instructions to install it manually as well to no avail and the bot developers have no idea what's wrong. This is on Windows Server 2012. There was a previously seemingly similar issue reported in the past but no resolution on how it was solved. (Yes, I have the dependencies downloaded)

MSVCR100.DLL IS NOT MISSING!

Copying the DLL to the folder did nothing.

I download Youtube-DL through NadekoBot Updater [..]

But you tried the official binary as well, yes?

[SirSlender]

Yes and it still gives the same error :/ Like I said in my description I tried through the Nadeko updater and manually.

Hi. Just another Windows user here who accidentally stumbled upon this discussion.

As Youtube-dl.exe is a 32-bit executable and you are running 64-bit Windows (x64), most accesses to System32 are redirected to SysWOW64, so the EXE tries to pick Msvcr100.dll from \Windows\SysWOW64 unless it is found elsewhere. The System32 directory should have 64-bit files only, while 32-bit files must reside in SysWOW64. This is likely not the case. Error 0xc000007b usually occurs when a 32-bit EXE is forced to load a 64-bit DLL or the other way round.

Please delete Msvcr100.dll from \Windows\SysWOW64 and every other place you might have copied it on. Then install Vcredist_x86.exe from the latest official Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package available.

You're awesome rsola, I didn't even think of that and I'm an IT graduate xD I never thought to check the executable for whether it was running 32 or 64. Thanks a million <3
