How to Fix Error [WinError 126] Specific module could not be found

Aug 30, 2024
WinError 126

 

Problem:

The reason you get WinError 126 Specific Module Could not be found, is because you are missing one of the dependency DLLs on Windows 11 called "libomp140.x86_64.cll"

This DLL for some reason comes with Windows 10 but not with Windows 11, don't ask :)

The bad way of fixing this is to find the DLL on the internet and drop it in the System32 folder and things will work.

Fix:

The correct way of doing this is to open your Visual Studio Installer and install an individual component for Build Tools called "MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (latest)"  That is is the latest as of August 30th 2024.

That will install the needed DLL correctly and all will be well.

Hope that helps someone.
