Re: [ANN] coolMiner - Lyra2z Miner for nVidia [1080Ti-3.75MHs][Maxwell\Pascal\Volta]

Hi Guys, i'm getting an error on my mining rig when using coolminer, its "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) ... "

Its a windows 10x64 machine 8 gb ram , core i5 7400 , with 9 gpus , 6 x 1080ti, 3 x 1070ti.

Things i've tried, installing cuda 9.2 , installing latest nvidia drivers 398.11, checked vb.net version is 4.7 , ran as administrator , checked its not blocked in firewall . Tried 1.1, 1.2 , 1.3 version and no luck.

Any ideas ? works great on my desktop and love to get this working on my rig.

I'll send a Gincoin to anyone that can sort this out for me as a thankyou .

Try this:

Go here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

download and install both: x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe

Ok tried this and no luck , its the same instant error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) ... "

This is one stubborn problem :-(

A good test would be to try running ccminer 2.2.5. Does that work or does it produce the same error?

Also, does that happen if you double click the exe? or is it happening when you use a bat file? sounds like it could be a missing dll file.

Try running command prompt as an admin and running this command: SFC /scannow

ccminer 2.2.5 is fine and that's what i currently run. No error with that one. I tried the SFC /scannow and no errors.

Re Ryzens2700x comment about the full reinstall i'm worried i do all that and it doesn't fix it. I've already lost 4 hrs trying to get this going now . So happy to try a few more things first for sure.

ccminer comes packaged with a dll file if I remember correctly. Copy the coolminer exe into the same folder as your ccminer and try running it from there. A full re-install sounds a little overboard at this point. Also are you familiar at all with the windows event viewer? In the application logs there should be an entry for every time this failed to run.
