Technically yes, but strongly discouraged . That file depends on other files ( VCRUNTIME140.dll , api-ms-win-crt-* ). Copying just one leads to "0xc000007b" errors or silent crashes. Always use the Microsoft installer.
While some installations work immediately, Windows often needs a reboot to properly register the new DLL files in the system registry. 4. Launch x360ce

is a utility that allows any standard gaming controller (DirectInput) to emulate an Xbox 360 controller (XInput). This enables older or generic gamepads to function in modern Windows games that only support Xbox controllers. However, x360ce has a critical dependency on the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable runtime libraries. Failure to install these libraries results in fatal errors ( 0xc000007b , missing DLLs like MSVCP140.dll , or the application failing to launch). This paper outlines the correct installation procedure for both x360ce and the required VC++ runtimes.
