After reinstalling v3.6.0 Spotube does start as expected, v3. 7.1 doesn't.

For v3.7.1 try reinstalling Visual C++ Redistributable: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

It's working, thanks. But now, I encounter an issue that v3.7.1 points to v3.7.0 either via github or krtitho.dev. 🧐

Should one note (FAQ, download section) that the latest VC version should be installed?

When I was running Spotube from the command line I kept getting "Segmentation fault". Following this piece of advice I got it to actually run! I did discover that the version installed has to exactly match your system (on x86_64 you had to install the x64 version).
