Hey all that error is related to you VC++ install,  can you try installing the most up to date version of VC++ to see if it helps.

 

You can find the latest version on the Microsoft website: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

 

You need to install both of the following:

  • vcredist_x86_vs2015 (for 32bit Windows version)
  • vcredist_x64_vs2015 (for 64bit Windows version)

If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).

    Hi Darko, I'm not sure if you have misunderstood but both myself and the guy who has replied above have done that already. 

    Myself more than once... I've tried the repair function, I've also tried removing the ones I've installed completely and starting from scratch. This is a brand new installation of windows on a brand new hard drive. And yes, I am of course running it as admin. 

    I've trawled through all of the posts about this here where you have replied giving the same advice to others as well. I decided to make a new post because none of those options are working.

    Cheers

    Hey @Tiny_wee_Temper there error that you are seeing is a Windows error related to an issue with VC++.

    As such, the only solution is to ensure that it is fully up to date and there are no issues with your install. 

    Have you ensured that you are installing both versions?
