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.

    To add to my last reply;

    If indeed this is an HP device, it would be best to use the link below to get the most up to date version of the HP 3D DriveGuard. This can also be found in the contents of the link in my previous reply.

    Hi Des,

    To clarify, did the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC install successfully?

    If so;

    Do you know which app or program that it is that is trying to use the VCRuntime140.dll (dynamic link library)? If so, check to see if there is an update to the application available from its developer and apply it. If not, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the application again (not the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC).

    If this is on a HP device refer to the reply of neilpzz on September 28, 2017 on page 6 of this thread.

    More info from HP:

    Let us know how it goes.
