Baer > OK, I started with a clean Win7 SP1, then added something from here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist This is Visual Studio VCRedist, giving MSVCRT in the modern form of api-ms-win.crt . This *adds* to an original set that came with Windows 7 SP1 installation. The missing file you seek, is in here. https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe <=== x64 OS, populates System32 https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe <=== x64 OS, populates SysWOW64 ---------------------------------------------- <=== On Windows 10, there would be a Downlevel folder with older api-ms for the previous OSes. Some of the System32 api-ms files have the Hidden attribute set. And, some do not. This means dir /a is needed to list all of them. That's the progress I've made so far. I noticed a Microsoft VM I downloaded, had a shitload of them, yet the Programs and Features control panel had *no trace* of how they got into the OS. I wasted a lot of time trying to make a pre-baked VM cough up some secrets. I had to install a VM from the DVD and do it that way, and "guess" at what the source might be. The files are divided into two sets. And this is just a personal impression, as I can't find the documentation I want. Some of the entries seem to be related to .NET . The CRT ones are related to VCRedist and Visual Studio. That means, if you have some additional missing ones, that don't have CRT in the name, then as you're posting back with your missing item list, consider tracking down a recent .NET like a 4.7 or a 4.8, and see if installing that helps. If I just push the button and get wsusoffline to patch up my test OS, it'll pour too much crap into it, and I'll never be able to figure out where the additional files are coming from. My plan is not to ask you to "just patch up your OS", because that's a big ask and could easily break multiple times before you are done. Paul
