This is the link that you want (need) as of 6/5/17, choose between the 32bit (x86) or the 64bit (x64) or just install both if you have a 64bit (x64) based system.

Hint: The 32 bit is the most commonly used for app and program development as it will run on both 32bit and 64bit PC's.

You need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC from the link supplied in the marked as answer reply to this thread, the 32bit version download and install of the data link library will be the most likely one that you will need, even if you are using a 64bit system, however, if the app that needs the file to run was developed for a 64bit OS only then you will need the 64bit version. You can install both versions on a 64bit system as a 64bit system will run both 32bit and 64bit apps and/or programs.

Here is the link again, for your convenience.

    It turned out to be a ''combined problem''. I needed Visual C++2015 redistributable and here it got a little tricky. 1. I  had an installed 2017 version that prevented install of 2015 version. So I had to uninstall the 2017 version first. 2. Only 64 bit version of the 2015 redistributable did not help, the problem only disappeared after  installing both 64 and 32 bit versions.
