Intel SDE broken on my system, error code 0xc00007b

[_Ivan_]

Dear Intel Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am experiencing an issue with the Intel Software Development Emulator (SDE) and would appreciate your assistance.

Issue Description: Whenever I attempt to launch sde.exe from the GUI, I encounter the following error: Error 0xc00007b. However, I can successfully run xed.exe without any issues.

System Information:

• Operating System: Windows 10 64 bit
• Intel SDE Version:  (latest version downloaded from the Intel website)

Steps Taken:

1. Checked for Dependencies:

   • Used sfc /scannow to verify system file integrity. No issues were detected.

2. .NET Framework:

   • Checked the installed .NET Framework version. I found it was outdated and have now installed .NET SDK 8.0.402, .NET Runtime 8.0.8, and ASP.NET Core Runtime 8.0.8. Installation was successful, but the error persists.

3. Different Execution:

   • Successfully executed xed.exe with the --help command, which worked as expected.
   • Attempted to run sde.exe with various commands, including sde.exe --help and sde.exe --version, but received the same error and blind crash.

4. Checked for Missing DLLs:

   • Tried using Dependency Walker on sde.exe to identify any missing DLLs, but I am not sure how to interpret the results.

5. Event Viewer:

   • Reviewed the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs but found no additional insights regarding the failure.

6. Reinstallation:

   • Uninstalled and reinstalled Intel SDE, but the issue remains unresolved.

Given the troubleshooting steps above, I am still unable to run sde.exe. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or further steps you recommend to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your time and assistance,
Ivan

Hello Yuzhang,
thank you for your prompt reply. The developer website is the first place I have looked and sadly to no avail. I have extensively googled this issue and consulted with chatgpt.

I will then post the question on the forum for engineers provided and am looking forward to getting this issue rectified. Have a great day and thanks again,

Ivan.
