cppcheck

I found the reason for this error. The cppcheck installer pushes a 64bit DLL into the Windows/SysWOW64 folder. Uninstall the vc 2015 redistributables for x86, then go to the Windows/SysWOW64 forlder and manually delete the msvcp140.dll file. Then ... [More] reinstall the vc 2015 redistributables. Then you should be able to reinstall/repair Visual Studio 2015. [Less]

cpp check 1.71 kills VS 2015. I am kicking myself for allowing cppcheck to update VS2015. I am now struggling to get vs2015 repaired. If you are using VS2015 DO NOT DOWNLOAD cppcheck 1.71 until this issue is fixed.

cppcheck GUI (x64) does not start under Win7 with error code 0xc0000007b. Installing redistributable package for VS2015 did not fix this.

x64 build for 1.71 includes 32 bit build of cppcheckgui.exe and not 64 bit version.

The x64 build for windows seems to require WinRT DLLs so it won't run on Windows 7.

Cppcheck-1.71 has been released General changes: - The deprecated options --suppressions and --exitcode-suppressions have been removed - .hh and .hxx files are now treated as C++ files - Improved documentation (readmes and manuals) - Internal errors ... [More] (for example syntax error) are now suppressable Removed checks: - Check for unnecessary qualification has been removed Checking improvements: - Support range-based for-loops (C++11) - Better support for C++11 style initialization - Better support for lambdas (C++11) - Support digit separators (C++14) - Added determination of the type of an expression (ValueType) - Support case ranges (GCC extension) - Improved AST generation and added validation - Improved value flow analysis - Improved checking for unitialized arrays - Improved VarId assignment for member variables - Rewrote checking of char variables - Known variable simplification has been removed partially in favour of value flow analysis GUI: - Added library editor - Improved display of inconclusive messages - Added option to enforce parsing as C or C++ code - Show file that included a header in details view - Added "Recheck all files" button, "Recheck files " renamed to "Rechecked modified files" Additionally, lots of false positives and bugs have been fixed and several existing checks have been improved.

This is not a good place to report installation problems. Use the Cppcheck issue tracker instead: http://trac.cppcheck.net

Thanks! It should be installed automatically by the installer. If you're good at Wix feel free to take a look at our script and see if you can tell us why that did not work.

On Windows 7 (64-bit), I found that after installing the Cppcheck 1.70 MSI, the Cppcheck.exe program would note start. A dialog box was displayed, saying the program can't start [...] msvcp140.dll Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 to fix this. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Thanks! That did the trick. For NON-ADMIN Users: Download the correct OS version executable instead of just downloading the default MSI executable. Unzip somewhere and rename all DLLs to their right names. Rename "_" to "-" for the API DLLs and ... [More] remove their GUI extensions to make them DLLs. Move qwindows.dll to a folder named "platforms" right under root. Running the GUI executable (after renaming) should tell you wish DLLs it hasn't found and need to be renamed. One DLL needs a hyphen in the name. [Less]
