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.

Let us know how it goes,

    Hi Rosalie,

    • If possible, reinstall your Visual Studio software or update it to the latest version. This can also help. Sometimes the files (here VC++ file) get corrupted and it creates trouble. Also check for your Windows Update. If any update is available then, perform it and then install the Visual Studio.
    • If the update don't works then you can download the VC++ 2015 file from the link given below:

    Regards,

    Ankit.

    This was of absolutely NO HELP.  I tried to download the VCRUNTIME140.dll file that the latest updates to my HP computer installed.  I was told to download the VC++2015  file, but it would not download.  The message was that I did not select a file, which was not true.  I am getting nothing but a runaround with trying to take care of the error message.  What do you suggest.
