starting trouble - can't start due to api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
Posted: 05.01.2019, 18:32
I am on w8.1-64-bit fc790 32 bit public
when I installed w8.1 afresh on a new hdd, and then installed fc, it installed, but on double clicking the icon to run, it gives the following message:
The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
though it says "can't start", yet it does start after giving the message 5 times.
I had been using fc on 8-32 bit for some 6 years and 8.1-64 bit for some 10 months, and installed it several times but no such problem occurred.
net search says that it could be due to non availability of "vc++ 2015 for visual studio". i installed that and 2017 also, but that didn't solve the problem.
however, I don't have that installed on W10-64 bit, and fc installed and is working well.
and ms word/ excel 2016 are also not starting throwing the same error.
All this related info to help you in finding the source of problem.
Thanks.
