Delphi – Missing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-0.dll when launching Delphi IDE

delphidelphi-2009

This message appears when I launch Delphi 2009 Enterprise. I installed Windows Updates today (Windows 7 Professional) and updated TortoiseSVN to 1.9.

An article related to a FTP server points to a required installation of Visual Studio 2015 redistributables.

Did anybody experience the same and found a fix?

If you have installed the new TortoiseSVN 1.9 then it may be the cause. It requires the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. This is mentioned on the Tortoise 1.9 download page under Missing DLLs.

Here is a discussion on the TortoiseSVN discussion forum.

Delphi – Testing Delphi DLL crashes VB6 IDE

To elaborate on GSerg's answer:

result := PWideString(s);

you'd think it would be ok because s was initialized with a string literal... but wide strings in Delphi are not reference counted like normal strings, so s actually holds a bit of dynamically allocated heap memory, and as soon as the function returns this memory can be reused :(

The following should be ok though:

function foo() : PWideString;
const s : WideString = 'My dog''s got fleas';
begin
  result := PWideString(s);
end;
