I'm encountering an error that says 'VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found.' I figured out that it's part of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redistributable, but when I try to reinstall it, it tells me that it's already installed. What can I do to resolve this issue?

Make sure you have both the x86 and x64 versions of the Visual C++ runtime installed. Sometimes having only one version can cause problems, especially if the application you're using needs the other one.
If reinstalling isn't an option, you might want to manually download the VCRUNTIME140.dll file from a reputable source and place it in the directory of the application that's giving the error. Just be cautious and ensure you're getting it from a trusted site!
Downloading DLLs from the internet can be risky. Is there a safer way to get this file?
Where would I even find the installed DLL file to move it?
I checked and I do have both installed already.
