The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b)

[DPlotAdmin]

If when starting DPlot (or any other software) you get the following error message:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click on
OK to terminate the application."

and you're running a Dell system with Symantec Endpoint Protection installed, please see this page:

The problem of course isn't limited to DPlot (and has nothing to do with DPlot), but may show up there and has been reported by 1 user.

Update:
The following was received by Symantec Technical Support and should solve whatever problem Symantec Endpoint Protection has with allowing DPlot to launch:

If you are unable to run the DPlot application please follow the below steps.

Step 1: Navigate to control panel.
Step 2: Select symantec endpoint protection.
Step 3: Click change and Modify.
Step 4: Under proactive threat protection, disable Application and device control.
Step 5: Complete the wizard and reboot the machine.

This will allow you to disable the Application and device control feature.

Note: The above steps are applicable for unmanaged client.
