'mfc140ud.dll and vcruntime140d.dll needed for Release compilation
I am using Visual Studio 2019 and this project is from an earlier version of Visual Studio. When I try to open the software compiled in release mode, I receive and error about missing mfc140ud.dll and VCRUNTIME140D.dll. From what I understand, I should only need these DLLs if I am compiling in Debug mode. What could be causing this?
Solution 1:[1]
As far as I'm concerned, You distributing a DEBUG version of your application.The "d" suffix of "mfc140ud.dll"and"vcruntime140d.dll" indicate it's looking for the DEBUG version of the MFC libraries.
I suggest you should check your project settings.
If you want your application to run not depending on the mfc140u.dll you can simply static link your application with MFC.

I think it's a dependency matter between release and debugging mode.
In my case, I got the same error message with my executable file which is built by 64 bit release.
First, It said that unable to find a vcruntime140d.dll.
Finally i've got a 0xc000007b error message as follows.
Finally, i found the point after digging the dependencies of my executable file with libraries which are ocilib,libzip,zlib and iconv.
These libraries are all built with 64-bit debugging mode.
So, I rebuilt them all to 64-bit release mode then the error was gone as you can see the size of files between two pictures.
