Visual Studio 2015: Windows 8.1 missing ucrtbased.dll.

Question

I installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise With Update 2 on Windows 8.1.

While trying to run a project built on Visual Studio 2015, I am facing missing ucrtbased.dll error.

I came across few articles which read that this dll is present on Windows 10 and is a part of OS. I have a Windows 10 OS. But, i am unable to locate the dll.

Please help me resolve the issue.
