Windows installer error: missing VCRUNTIME140.dll #337

Description

On some Windows machines, the installer fails with the following error:

VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found.

Image

This happens on systems where Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (2015–2022, x64) is not installed, which is common on clean or non-developer Windows setups.


Proposed solution

During installation:

  • check if the Visual C++ Redistributable (x64) is installed
  • if missing, install it automatically (silent mode)
  • continue installation once the dependency is satisfied

This prevents installer failures due to missing native runtime dependencies.
