Install it? If you're not on Windows 10, this needs to be installed, and the side effect is that your install may need to take place with elevated privilege. === Recent versions of Python for Windows are built with a recent Microsoft build toolchain. Since the Python binary itself is a C-language application, it is automatically linked with the MS C runtime. That library, of the correct version, is a part of an up-to-date Windows 10, but has to be installed as an update on Win 7/8.1. Microsoft's package for that is included in the Python installer, but introduces a host of problems: it must be installed using elevated privilege (even though Python itself does not require this), and in general those kinds of packages only install if "everything is right" - if the MS installation subsystem thinks you are not up to date, for example, it may well give up. Sometimes it seems like if the phase of the moon is wrong, it gives up. This isn't unique to Python, by the way. Step one is to try an install with elevated privilege - the new Python installers default to installing at just user privilege level, so you need to go to advanced settings and tick a box. If that's not enough, look at this note from a different project suffering the same problems which proposes a solution: https://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/the-program-cant-start-because-api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0dll-is-missing-f2702.html -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
