    Uninstall both Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 

    Restart, then download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 32 and 64 bit and install both.

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Update 3 Redistributable (x86 and x64)

    You can then reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 32 and 64 bit.
