Should you encounter an issue with some software or games where a specific file error shows up with "this is not designed to run on your OS," we're going to look at a few things you can try out to fix it.
The issue I had was with mfc140u.dll, which is part of Microsoft's Visual C++ redistribution suite, the 2015 version in my case. The GOG Galaxy client can sometimes stumble with this issue, which has caused gamers to take to online forums to try and get some assistance.
I browsed around and worked with a few people to see if we could come across a fix since everything we tried up until that point failed to solve our problem. Here's what we came up with.
Re-install VC
The first step we need to take is to re-install the Visual C++ redistribution suite that may have been packaged with the game or software you're attempting to run. This may be causing the issue, but luckily Microsoft has made it easy to fetch and install a fresh version.
