Hello, I just installed Vensim, and the program will not run.
I am on Windows 7. I downloaded the 64-bit version of Vensim.
I got the following error: "api-ms-win-core-version-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer"
I downloaded that file from the internet, and installed it in the Vensim folder, and then got the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)"
I then downloaded the 32-bit version of Vensim, to see if that would work. I got the same missing DLL error, except this time it was version 1-1-1. I downloaded that as before, and got the same second error as before.
What's going on here, and what's the solution?
Thanks.
Cannot run the software after installing

I don't think this is Vensim related,

Re: Cannot run the software after installing
I would be extremely cautious about downloading dlls from any source other than Microsoft. It's executable code, and who knows what's in there.

Re: Cannot run the software after installing
It doesn't look like there is any way to download those files from Microsoft. I deleted the ones I downloaded from that sketchy download site.
I tried running the System File Checker, but it didn't find any missing files.
The weird thing is I also have Ventity, and that runs just fine. I guess it doesn't rely on whatever .dll Vensim does. Since Windows 7 support has ended, I won't have any luck asking Microsoft for help.
Maybe I should just bite the bullet and "upgrade" to Windows 10.

Re: Cannot run the software after installing
I'm sure there will be an update to get the DLL from Microsoft, but no idea which one.
I found this, which links to a Microsoft update. You could try that.

Re: Cannot run the software after installing
Upgrading to Windows 10 seems to have solved my issue.
