Question / Help Missing MSVCR120.dll error on Windows 10

[RobC]

Hey y'all, hope everyone is doing well today.

I just updated to winds 10 Pro 64, clean install not an upgrade, and just downloaded/installed the newest installer for multiplatform OBS and am getting this error every time I start the program:

THE PROGRAM CAN'T START BECAUSE MSVCR120.DLL IS MISSING FORM YOUR COMPUTER. TRY REINSTALLING THJE PROGRAM TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I tried reinstalling the software but it's still there.

NOTE The program DOES start (I think in 32bit mode) after I close the error box and works without issue, but the error is there every time I start the program from the default desktop exe. The 64bit exe will only give the error and will not start if I try to run it form the program file folder.


PS: I can't find the log file to upload, where is that again? thanks

Thanks very much for any help or suggestions.

Or you could just install the runtime packages I linked instead and get them from actual official sources.

Yes, this works perfectly, and they should be installed anyways.
