api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing when opening Microsoft Office file [closed]

I am facing this .dll library missing error:

This programme can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing. Try to reinstall this.

When I try to open an Microsoft Office file.

How do I solve that?


The default solution is to install KB2999226 of Microsoft.


While the answer from alireza is correct, it has one gotcha:

You can't install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist (runtime) unless you have Windows Update KB2999226 installed (at least on Windows 7 64-bit SP1).


Recursively update Windows 7 until it shows no more updates, using Windows Update check option in Windows 7.

Then download and install Visual C++ Redistributable vc_redist.x64.exe from the Windows website.

Then try to run Apache server.
