Symptoms

Text index creation and SYNC of the Text index on Windows complete successfully, however, none of the documents are indexed.

Querying the index's $I table, DR$indexname$I, shows no tokens were indexed(i.e. no rows are returned) and querying CTX_USER_INDEX_ERRORS reveals every document failed to index with the error "DRG-11207: user filter command exited with status -1073741515".

If you run $ORACLE_HOME\bin\ctxhx.exe by double clicking for test purposes, following error dialog box will appear to tell "The program can't start because MSVCRT120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
