@c5002 As mentioned before the solution is to install the component with an official microsoft installer. Pencil2D bundles this, you dont’ need to download anything from suspicious third party sites .
The bundled installer comes inside the Pencil2D folder after you unzip the program folder. it’s called vc_redist.exe
But if you want you can also download it from the official microsoft website. Please read the pinned responses for this issue: VCRUTIME140_1.ddl was not found // VCRUNTIME140.dll / MSVCP140.dll Missing? Help
