    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    The lack of these DLLs can be fixed by installing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributable". Probably, the game that is showing this error depends on it installed.

    Download from the links below. I suggest you install both the x86 and x64 versions.

    x86: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

    x64: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

    (Run the downloaded EXE file and follow the on-screen instructions to install it. Do this for each one.)
