Where do you find the event log? I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times and I still get that error message.
@ItsMarmy I think you need to do some maintenance on your computer, to see if the error message is the result of that.
Update Windows; run a registry cleaner (CCleaner is free and safe, always back up the registry when asked if to do this), and perhaps try to do a DISM clean up.
But update Windows first, I think that will install any necessary Visual C++ Redistributables.
Also follow the advice given by the other poster; the file requested will show what needs to be done, for anyone that can read it.
But don't post in 8 year old threads, since that is against the rules of this forum, I am surprised the thread has not get closed down yet. Best is to make a new thread, and name it properly, so that more posters are inclined to read it based on the title.
