      @alphatoanant I'm glad @herb_fargus was able to give you an answer of sorts, because I don't know anything about it. Sorry. I'm guessing it's probably something to do with you running windows on a virtual machine, which is why it was asking for those dll files, but as I said, that's just a guess.

        Thank you @herb_fargus; good find. I'll start digging on the 32bit/64bit mixup possibility and post back what I find.

          @mattrixk figured that might be possible as well (using a VM). I may have a access to dedicated box I could try this out on. Going to take a shot at that as well. Thank you!

              @herb_fargus you were spot on! I was using the 64bit versions of vcruntime140 and msvcp140 dlls. I sourced 32bit versions of them and am able to boot now.
              Thank you!

                @alphatoanant I'll perhaps have a chat with @jdrassa on his windows builds. I don't know if there is any benefit to 64 bit in this case but it's at least good to know what we include.

                Glad you got it sorted.

                  @herb_fargus I could look into updating the build script to build for 64 bit if there is demand.

                    @jdrassa I personally have no preference on the matter. Would there be any benefit to 64 bit? Or would it just confuse things more because of the diff dlls?

                      @herb_fargus I doubt there would be much benefit, but I may look into it at some point.

                        @jdrassa and @herb_fargus once I sorted out the dlls the 32bit version works well. So maybe sticking with that could be ok as long as we have the info here about making sure a user has 32bit versions of the dlls available. If that works I can record a quick step by step and post it into this thread if the question comes up again no problem.

                        Or is it possible to include the 32bit vcruntime140 and msvcp140 dlls in the zipped bundle? Not sure if there are legal issues with doing so; if not that could help too.
