Acrodist.exe The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)

I have a Creative Cloud account, I had Acrobat 9 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine before. Decided to upgrade to Acrobat XI. Now I keep getting this error:
Faulting application name: AcroDist.exe, version: 11.0.7.79, time stamp: 0x536b6f17

I tried to uninstall all versions and install the latest. No luck.
Not sure if it's of any relation, but in the latest Photoshop which I also recently upgraded, when I try to use the typing tool, it's crashing, or more specifically becomes unresponsive for minutes. I had a forum question about that and they said it might be related to fonts, but i had no issues with Photoshop CS4, not sure if that's any relation to this issue.

Hi Pixelbendr,
There might be chance of previous version left overs. Try uninstalling Acrobat again using cleaner Tool : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then try to install again and see if that make any difference. If it doesn't, uninstall again. Create a new user profile with admin rights and check.

Ajlan Huda.

Hi,
First please test if it is caused by third party application. A Clean Boot could help disable all third party applications.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796/en-us
Meanwhile is there any change made before the issue occurs, such as Windows Update, installed any program etc? If there is a restore point before the issue occurs, it may be a quicker solution for this issue.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Trying to reinstall firefox on a windows 7 machine and I get "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)"

In troubleshooting a different issue I uninstalled Firefox. After fixing the other issue I'm tying to re-install Firefox and am getting an error message that says "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application." The title bar of the window says "setup-stub.exe - Application Error." My PC is a Dell Studio 19 All-in-one running Windows 7 Home Premium.

When I look up that error on Microsoft's forums, I find suggestions ranging from an incompatible update/hotfix to malware...

HI
when i am trying to open MSWord following message pop up and i can't open MSword any more:
WINWORD.EXE -Application Error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application.
Please advise

Hi,
Does Word start in Safe Mode?
Press Win key + R, type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If Word can start in Safe Mode, the issue should be related to 3rd-party add-ins, disable the suspicious add-ins to determine which one caused the problem.
You can also try repairing Office from Control Panel -> Programs and Features, check if this helps.

Hi all,
After updating our acceptence Windows 7 SP1 clients (april updates). We are unable to login the machine.

Hi Tim,
Uninstalling
KB3045999 works as a workaround like Wastashi said. We too have this problem.
@Karen Hu: Startup repair didn't find anything here and this is probably because the system boots properly but only after a user logs in the "Error: userinit.exe - Application Error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000018)"
appears. Safe mode works however and after I disabled all the startup items and rebooted I could successfully logon once, but this could be coincidence because sometimes after a reboot you can login as pointed out by Tim NL. However a few seconds
after I successfully logged in and saw the desktop, the pc rebooted spontaneously. Any idea what this could be causing? Virus scanner maybe?

"The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application" error when starting Visual Studio Community

Hi,
There is not enough information about the problem. For troubleshooting, I recommend you can use Process Monitor to detect whether there's any process failed.
You can download Process Monitor and see how to use it for troubleshooting in below links:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939896
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/06/01/troubleshooting-with-process-monitor.aspx
There are a lot of log entries in Process Monitor, you may filter Visual Studio process only(proces = devenv.exe). And you can upload the logs to OneDrive so that we can investigate them.
Also, you can refer to Gfazil's post in
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/96035692-9a50-40d4-a7d3-48bda87d11ec/the-application-was-unable-to-start-correctly-0xc000007b-click-ok-to-close-the-application-when?forum=vssetup
Please try the method he mentioned to see whether the problem can occur:
" Replacing the dlls mentioned below from a machine that is working solves the problem:
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100.dll
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100d.dll
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100.dll
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100_clr0400.dll

0xc000007 The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Get this when run RoboHelp 10

I get a RoboHTML.exe - Application Error when I try to start RoboHelp 10 HTML. It says:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
I have uninstalled and re-installed RoboHelp 10 several times but it made no difference.
What can I do?
Thanks,

Yes it did work fine. The problem was that I could not view the Single Source JavaHelp output on my PC after I generated it. I know you have to download Java JDK, etc. and I've done that many times over the years and each time it was a huge hassle, but finally got it to work.
But RoboHelp worked fine and the output worked fine in my customer's Java program. Since I could not view the output, a programmer at my client's site looked up the error message online and gave me some links to look at. I did what one of those links said by downloading something. I don't remember what at this point. It was then that I would get the message anytime I tried to run RoboHelp. So I cannot run RoboHelp now.
If I can just get rid of this error message and be able to run RoboHelp, I am OK with not even being able to run the JavaHelp viewer. I've dealt with that many times over the years on various computers and it is always a huge hassle. I'll just look at it after my customer loads it into their application.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

Captivate 6 Errors: Missing file libwinpthread-1.dll and The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) on Windows 2008 R2

Hi,
I have a problem with Captivate 6 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have 2 different scenarios where I tested but the result is same.
1- I used AMEE (Application Manager Enterprise 3.1) to create the installation Package to deploy through SCCM 2012.
Notice that the current package works fine on Windows7 (x86 & x64) but not on 2008 R2 due to an error after I try to launch Captivate.exe application.
The error states that there's a Missing file: libwinpthread-1.dll and if I copy and made a registration of this .DLL file then it sends another error saying: The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) so it never let me launch the application.
2- Now if I install the package directly from the Original sources(CD) without creating any AMEE package after completing the installation I still have the same error about the DLL missing file.
Is there any fix or workaround to install Captivate 6 on Win2008 R2 ?
Thanks in advance & kind regards.

Wow, No replies so far !!
Any one ??

Help. Windows 7: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002).

I just got a new computer. Windows 7. Toshiba. Intel 13-3110M Processor. 6GB DDR3 Memory. 1TB 5400rpm Hard Drive. Intel HD Graphics 4000. 2.40 GHz. 64-bit operating system.
I installed CS5 Creative Suite on it (which worked perfectly fine on my two previous computers--Windows 7 and Windows 8). Since then Photoshop and Illustrator have been giving me the same error message. "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application." The programs still open and remain open after pressing okay, but the message comes back every minute or so.
Then, with InDesign, the program won't open at all. It gives me the error message of "Cannot load the PDF.RPLN plug-in. It is dependent on the EPS PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in, which failed to load. Please check documentation for the EPS PAGE ITEM.RPLN plug-in." Then InDesign stops responding and closes itself.
I have to live with this computer for two more weeks (and then I go home and can use my old one again/return this current laptop), and I have schoolwork that counts on me being able to use these programs. If anybody could help me, I would be super grateful!
Oh, and I've already tried installing and uninstalling it.

Without system information nobody can say anything. also check the logs in the Event Viewer.

How can this be resolved?

Hi mpatterson54,
Could you please tell me what OS version are you using on your new computer?

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) in Audition CC. Latest fix? Win7 Prof

Another username, password later, ..., control handed over to Creative Cloud, install Audition.... then
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" in Audition CC. So re-installed. I on't want to spend hours trying to get Adobe software to run. This was my trial application download to see how it worked. ANd it didn't. And there are heaps of posts with complicated advice... ending with - go get a chat support person. And they are not available. aaaaggggghhhhh
I am now worried that installing any other app from CCloud may cause problems on my PC with other Adobe SW.
What is the latest (and hopefully simple) way of getting this program to run?
I don't have ilivid,
I do have: CS5, Win 7 Prof, installed via some Adobe CCloud app that I was told to install and use to manage your CC account,
Grateful for anyone who can wave the magic wand.

2. The package contains the files msvcr100.dll and msvcr80.dll. Extract the package contents to the following location:
I copied the 2 DLL files to the C:\program files\Adobe\audition cc 2014 folder and it worked. SIMPLE !!!!!! YEH.
Thanks
