    Hello,

    This issue usually happens if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package is not installed properly.

    We suggest you to uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual Redistributable Package. For the detailed steps, you can refer to the link below and follow our MVP's steps on the thread:
