One user on Discord overcame this problem by installing the latest Visual C++ Redistributable package from Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Docs

Thanks for your support. It worked for me after following the above link.

Two users now fixed - confirmed this is due to the missing dependency linked in the solution. This could possibly be related to the version of Windows being used (Pro vs Home for example).
