0XC00007b Error Fix

[Resdek 0]

Hello,

 

I hope this post is not in violation of any rules. I'm an absolute beginner to hosting Arma servers, but I wanted to share how I fixed the 0XC00007b error that plagued me for about two hours. This may be an easy fix for those who have a much better understanding of the server software and redistributables than myself, but I want to help anyone who is a beginner like myself and might not be able to figure it out.

 

First off, determine whether you want to run the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the server. Assuming you followed the guide on the wiki, it will be either arma3server.exe or arma3server_x64.exe. Then, download the Dependency Walker for the version you want to run (x64 for 64-bit, x86 for 32-bit). Extract the walker and drag the .exe or shortcut to the .exe into the program window. After waiting for a few seconds, the walker should say there were errors running the program. If you have the same problem I do, the walker (at the log on the bottom) will say:

Error: Modules with different CPU types were found

If that appears, you probably have the same problem I did.

 

From here, look at the table on the walker that has columns "Module", "File Time Stamp", etc. Go down to the "CPU" column and sort by that. From there, find the files that are of the wrong architecture. If you are running 64-bit "x86" is the wrong one and vice versa. If you find one or more, they need to be replaced.

 

To replace these files, I used this website. However, note that I do not know of the safety or trustworthiness of this site. I don't really care as I have a PC for servers like this, but I would take caution and have your antivirus at the ready if you are weary. These files can directly affect Windows. Search up the files that you need and make sure you download the version of the file for your architecture. Take that file out of the zip folder and place it into your System32 (almost always at C:/Windows/System32). Copy and replace. Upon reboot, your server should work.
