how to install vcruntime140.dll on a surface tablet?

Solution 1:

You can't selectively drop a .dll from a Microsoft (or others) runtime library into %windir%\system32 or the bin folder of an application, and expect an application to work.

vcruntime140.dll is a component of the Microsoft C++ runtime library. Each of the DLL's in this library will be inter-dependant, meaning you'll be playing a game of whack-a-mole for the next few days, dropping in DLL's it depends on.

To prove this, open vcruntime140.dll with Depends.exe/Depenedancy Walker and await the results. It'll show you the intricate web woven between the DLL's in the library.

[I'll update the answer with the output of depends.exe, once it's finished its analysis]
