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.

    Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC, x86, x64, or both if you have an x64 based system (it's the app that is trying to use it that determines whether the x86 or x64 version is required (32 bit (x86) apps run on 64bit (x64) systems)).

    Hi all,

    I think everyone use the same link as listed by RichardEiler. However, please be aware that this installer will fail to install on some recent Windows OS.

    The easiest and most reliable way to overcome this problem is to install the VC++ developer studio community edition. It's free with usual Microsoft license agreement.

    https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=15

    If you really want to save your disk space and do not need to do any VC++ development, just select the minimum feature set in the installation wizard.

    Good luck

    BTW,
