Hello guys, I'm trying to run apache in xamp and it keeps giving me this error: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll file is missing. As a remedy, i have tried installing the Microsoft c++ redistributable 2015, yet it won't complete installation due to 0×80240017 log file missing!
I have updated my windows yet no avail.

Please programmers, which way?
NB: By the way I use Window7( due to compatibility with some other softwares)
Xamp- latest version
C++ redistributable: Tried both 2015 and 2013

help guys as I'm stuck!

You need to download all C++ redistributable from microsoft website. i had the same issue, that was how i fixed it

You could help better by telling the OP the particular link you used

This should solve it.....had the same challenge... had to download and install all c++ redistributable from Microsoft website

The stackoverflow link i shared had a link too which should help. But one thing i dont like about Nairaland is that most of the time, people hardly come back to tell us whether the problem is solved or not.
Next time this OP asks a question, i might not answer.
