Hello, when I was trying to open CraftWare, a message that says api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll missing pops up. To fix this, I tried reinstalling my Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable both x64 and x86. I keep getting this mesage though: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Setup Fails 0x80240017. So, I decided to completely remove everything and reinstall windows. Still, I am getting this message. All the help I've seen from this are not working. Please help.

Hi JC. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.
See if the marked Answer here helps as it has many others with this specific error:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...
If not others in the thread found fixes they report.
You can also contact the program author to see if this is a known issue for which they have a solution or patch. They should have some way to contact for Support.
Have you also installed both bit-rate versions of Visual C++ as is sometimes required to get it to run properly? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/297700...
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
