I've had to re-install PC-BASIC 2.0.6 onto a RESETed Windows 11 PC but it won't start, saying VCRUNTIME140.dll is not found. It seems to install correctly.

2.0.6 still won't start but I'm using 1.2.15 as a workaround. knw@msn.com

Hi, not sure why this happens on your Windows 11 or whether I can reproduce the issue. Normally the required VC dlls get installed correctly.

The missing file is the standard Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 runtime. You can try to install the dll separately by downloading Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable directly from Microsoft - see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685 and the installation instructions on that page.

Very many thanks, C++ downloaded via your link and all is now well. No idea why it happened, everything else is/was fine. Thanks again, Keith Williams
