Solved: Can't run A:M after Installing

[Squirrelly]

I just installed the latest version of A:M, but when I try to run the program it gives the following error:

"The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from you computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I've tried reinstalling several times, no joy. Anyone have a suggestion?

 

I'm running windows 7 with Intel i7-5960X CPU on ASUS X99E WS MB

This appears to be a Visual Studio Dynamic Link Library that is missing from some Win 10 installations.

 

Here's some information related to that with some suggestions for installing:

Are you installing to the default directory?

Thanks for your responses! I never activated automatic updates when I installed windows 7 and I found that I hadn't run a single update. I cued up the backlog of updates and, after a couple of hours of downloading, installing etc., my system crashed. I finally got it all ironed out and running again this afternoon and now A:M is working. Thanks again!
