There are separate downloads for 32 and 64 bit machines. It may be that you downloaded the 64 bit version and have a 32bit OS running? I don't know if that would give that error but it sounds like an OS type of issue. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Python is written in C, so it only needs the C runtime, which is now an OS component. I provided a link for the updated download for the Universal C Runtime, KB3118401. The above Stack Overflow answer mentions KB2999226, which is the old, outdated update from well over a year ago. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Please what can I do? The implementation of Python that you're using is written in C and relies on the C runtime library to provide a measure of cross-platform portability. The latest C runtime from Microsoft is called the "Universal CRT". It's an operating system component. As such, you should already have ucrtbase.dll and all of the API set DLLs, such as api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll, assuming your system is up to date via Windows Update. If for some reason your system doesn't have this update, you can manually download and install it from the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50410 Install either "Windows8.1-KB3118401-x64.msu" (64-bit) or "Windows8.1-KB3118401-x86.msu" (32-bit), depending on whether your version of Windows is 64-bit or 32-bit. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Trouble Launching Python
Hello,Good day, I installed Python 3.5.2 on my Windows 8.1 PC and then I tried launching IDLE as well as the Interpreter but I got a message that api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll was missing. I downloaded and installed that after which I got another message that api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll was also missing, I got that, and then another dll was missing and it goes on and on. Please what can I do?ThanksJoseph ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
