Colors Live Windows beta guide

Troubleshooting

Missing MSVCP140.dll or VCRUNTIME140.dll errors

If you get a message warning you about missing DLLs MSVCP140.dll or VCRUNTIME140.dll when starting the app, you will need to install vc_redist.x64.exe from this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Missing dcomp.dll

This will show up if you try running Colors Live on an older version of Windows. Windows 10 is the only version currently supported, however support for older versions may be added eventually.

Wacom Tablet setup

The Colors Live Windows beta has built-in support for Wacom art tablets, but if you haven't used your tablet on your system yet, you may need to install the latest Wacom drivers first. They're available on this page: https://www.wacom.com/en-us/support/product-support/drivers
