Error 0xc000007b when launching mongod.exe / mongo.exe

1. Go to my Computer
2. Properties (Under windows edition check if service pack 1 is listed)
3. If not, make sure you have following windows updates installed on your system:

KB958488 (dot NET Framework) (<=10mb) (msu file)

KB2533552 (a prerequisite for service pack 1) (<=10mb) (msu file)

KB976932 (service pack 1) (around 900 mb) (exe file)

KB2999226 (Visual C++) (<=2mb) (msu file)

4. Add your mongo db bin directory to Path (Environment variable):

Example >>> C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin

Go to control panel → system and security → system → advanced system settings → advanced → environment variable → system variables → Path

5. Restart your system
6. Create a file C:\data\db
7. then run cmd
8. change directory to mongodb bin
9. run mongod

Enjoy....

I was facing the same issue with mongodb 3.6.5 version on my windows 7. I tried updating .net and vc++, nothing worked. Then I downloaded and installed an older version of mongodb, version 3.2 and it worked!

I have the issue while running mongod (Error 0xc000007b when launching mongod.exe / mongo.exe).

I solve the problem by using these following steps

1 step:uninstall the latest version of mongodb currently (4.2).

2 step: install mongodb version(3.0.15) don't worry its running all the feature that given by 4.2.

3 step:install the mongodb 3.0.15 in installing it gives the option (complete ,custom and other) you select the complete option and install.

4 step: Go to the program file check the mongodb folder inside the mongodb folder go to bin and run the mongod application .On this time the error will gone..

I solved this error by installing all the Microsoft Visual C++ re distribute files . i.e. all the versions . You need correct version to run mongo 2013 and 15 didnt work but 2019 did .
