Failing module "MSVCR90.dll" in L.A. Noire for PC

Last Updated: June 13, 2023

Question: My game keeps crashing and my Windows Event Viewer shows an error about a missing module "MSVCR90.dll."  What is this and where do I get it?

Answer: MSVCR90.dll is contained in the C++ package that normally installs during initial game setup.  If you are missing this file, please make sure all of your software components are up to date:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Note: 4.0 is not supported)

DirectX 9

If the same thing still happens, there may be an issue with the .NET/C++ components on your computer and we recommend the following page, which has information about .NET repair tools and steps for manuall installation.
