VCRUNTIME140.dll and MSVCP140.dll are missing in Windows 10. I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022, but it didn't help.

    If you are missing the VCRUNTIME140.dll and MSVCP140.dll files on Windows 10, it is likely that the Visual C++ Redistributable package required for your application is not installed correctly or is not the correct version. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

    1. Reinstall the Visual C++ Redistributable: Make sure you have the latest version of the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 - 2022 installed. You can download it from the official Microsoft website.
    2. Check for Updates: Ensure that your Windows is fully updated, as some updates may include necessary runtime libraries.
    3. Repair the Installation: If the redistributable is already installed, you can try repairing it through the Control Panel. Go to "Programs and Features", find the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, and select "Repair".
    4. Check Application Dependencies: If the application you are trying to run has specific dependencies, ensure that all required versions of the redistributable are installed.
    5. Check System Architecture: Make sure that the architecture of the installed redistributable matches your system architecture (x86 or x64).

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to check the application's documentation or contact the vendor for further assistance.

    That error does indicate a problem with the Visual C++ 2015 redistributable, you indicate you have installed that, did you install both the x86 and x64bit versions of that redistributable, both are required.
