unable to locate component

Title says it all. I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 (x86).

Install the Visual C++ 2015 runtime (or 2015-19 runtime). Or remove dwrite.dll. I will release an updated version dwrite.dll that will remove the VC++ dependency in the future, only depending on msvcrt + some replacements in my p_vcrt wrapper.

I encountered that error when VC++ 2015-2019 was installed. If I just installed VC++ 2015 (its an earlier version), it doesn't come up with the error on XP.

VC++ 2015-2019 replaces VC++ 2015. I had to uninstall 2015-2019 to install 2015 and now I don't see that error.

@SleakaJ Best is to install VC++ Repack. https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist

To be clear, the error message is not correct. If you click the OK button, Supermium will still start.
