  3. RUN TIME ERROR MICROSOFT VISUAL C C

    Hi Marco,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    This error may occur due to a program using Visual C++.

    I would suggest you to uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package to check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:

    Step 1: Uninstall the exiting Microsoft Visual C++.

    a) Press Windows key + x key and select Programs and Features.

    b) Right click on the Microsoft Visual C++ and
    uninstall
    it.

    Step 2: Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ and install it.

    Refer to the below link:
