So I've been wanting to revisit this game and when i start it, this message pops up:
"payday2_win32_release.exe - Bad Image"
"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor support. Error status 0xc000012f."
and
"payday2_win32_release.exe - Bad Image"
"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\VCRUNTIME140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor support. Error status 0xc000012f."
This game works fine before. Any suggestion?

Thanks for the reply
I've tried this method before and managed to uninstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable. However, I can't seem to install the latest version with it saying:
"Setup Failed
One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. For more information see the log file.
0x80070666 - Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."
This is weird because i have uninstalled both x64 and x86 of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable.

If this is the Steam version then check this discussion on their forum for solution/s:

Then click this link to download andi install the latest version:
